Air sack at the wrong end

[columbiacritter]

One of the eggs we candled tonight is a mongrel LF from our own flock that's on day 14 in the bator. It looks like the air sack is at the bottom? Is that possible and is there anything I can do to help this chick survive? All I could think of was to lay it on it's side at lock down.

Yes its possible and yes it can hatch. I would just put it on its side at lockdown and hopefully it will pip at the end with the air cell.

My DH's comment was, "Well Daddy wasn't the smartest roo on the planet, obviously his chicks can't figure out which end is up either."

LOL! Cute comment by your hubby. I have one egg with the air cell smack dab in the center. I am not sure it can hatch either.
