Bought some polish eggs and noticed most of them are just slightly misshapen...not enough to immediately discount from hatching, but enough to make me wonder if it will impact chick development at all...any advice appreciated x

Since you bought them, I'd hatch them out. On my own chicken eggs, I've had a couple along the way and never seen anything wrong with the chicks. I just would not sell them.

Since you said most were like that, her chickens are lacking some vitamin so I'd get some Poultry Cell and when they hatch, give them that in their water every other day for a couple of weeks.

Yeah I said nothing to the seller as I said I wanted 6 eggs and paid for 6 eggs but she told me she'd put in an extra 3, however those 3 'extra' eggs were obviously misshapen and some of the 6 I've paid for were as well, although to a lesser extent...in total approx 4 eggs out of 9 arrived in what I consider to be sellable quality. Sort of disappointed with that even though the seller was very nice. But to be fair if the hatch rate is good, I'm not complaining....
