Hi all ,
My leghorn eggs arrived today , three days in postage and no breakages ! The only problem is some air cells are wobbly, but I noticed “bubbles” in all the exchequer leghorns and no bubbles in the lavenders ? It doesn’t look like part of the air cell .
Will this kill the chicks ? Is there anything I can do ?
Thanks in advance .

Now, if you're talking about the speckled appearance of the shell (light speckles) - that's due to differing permeability of the shell in those areas. Sometimes you see this in older eggs, or when hens are older. It is what it is at this point, I'd just rest them and incubate.

If you plan to rest them, pointy side, down, do that, then incubate. Some folks rest them for 24 hrs, then incubate.

Either way, nothing you can do really. Good luck!
okay thanks! I’ve never had bubbles in hatching eggs before but I’m excited to see how many hatch !
The bubbles move in little groups when I turn the egg .
 
That's the air cell, all eggs have one.
They may have had rough handling that dislodged it from the end. Rest your egg fat end up at room temperature for 24 hours, then incubate, if possible, fat end up for the first week.
