Air Cell size

[spowell]

I have noticed that some of the air cells in my eggs are huge

The air cell is around the top and up the side. on about 6 eggs out of 26. The rest are all about the same size. Is something wrong?

They have been in the bator for 10 days. My Humidity is running about 50% Oh, I also have Japs in there, for 14 days, that have not lost any weight in the last week, they lost 7% the first week. Any advice would be great.

I did not weigh the batch of 26 when I started them.

I noticed on the eggs I had shipped that they had much bigger air cells. Were yours shipped as well?

the ones where the Air Cell goes up the sides, their borderline getting ready to detach which means they were handled rough through mailing.. They'll still grow an hatch though so dont be worried. I even have 2 that have completely detached air cells and their growing!

Yes, they were shipped. Ok, I'll try not to worry. I was thinking that they aren't going to have enough room to grow. They have only been in 10 days. Will they hatch the same time as the rest? or Early?

I noticed your name about Seramas. I have been looking into them. Can you tell me how big they are at adult weight? They look tiny.

Their known for their friendly disposition. I have found a few that have turned jumpy (they were all roos though) but for the most part they are very lovely birds! and housing is much easier!
