air sac after 3 days

[daisyjack]

I just candled my shipped eggs after 3 days and the air sacs moves all around the egg in about half of them . I did let them settle for more then 12 hours and then didn’t turn for another 24 hours in the incubator. Should I trash them?

I wouldn't just yet. While the likelihood of them developing is certainly less that those without loose aircells, many folks have hatched chicks from eggs with loose aircells. I would keep them in the incubator until at least day 7-10 and then check for viability.

No!!! Incubate them and then candle them between day 10-15!!! They may surprise you!

My last hatch had all detached air sacs, and I did get 6 out of 13. So it's kind of a 50/50 thing......those eggs came from Texas to Ohio.
