Candling help?

[chickenman17]

I was candling my eggs today. It is day 7 and they have good vein stuctures in them. I noticed when I moved the egg while candling, there was liquid sloshing around in there. Is this normal? Please I need to know if they're ok.

Thats not a good thing but its not the end of the world ether. Thats called a detached air cell. It is usually a shipping issue. It would not hurt to keep them in a more or less upright position specifically at hatch time. I have hatched several that way over the years. Some do fine an others dont...

If it appeared to be gel like substance then you are ok. If it sloshes like water then not so good.

If they are veining then they are growing. I don't think a ruptured air cell will begin to grow, sounds like they are just detatched. I have hatched MANY with detatched air cells! I say leave them be and they should be okay. I wouldn't handle them any more than necessary. Detatched air cells if handled improperly can become ruptured easier. Best wishes!
