Detached Air Cells Day 4 to hatch

[TLoter1]

Hi All!
I am about to go into day three to hatch and lockdown Silkie eggs. I have been taking care of three that have detached air cells, upright in egg carton and hand turning. I candled them today and the chicks are moving inside but the air cell is still very large, at least half of egg and still saddle shaped.
Wondering what things I should do, if anything if they aren’t hatching with the others that weren’t detached? Should I help them or leave them alone? Thanks!

I am in the same situation although longer to lockdown. One has what I think is a huge saddle air cell. I don’t have any advice but . Hoping you have a great hatch! The

We have babies!!!
Woke up to four little chicks this morning. All the ones that had the detached air cells are happy and healthy! Just waiting on one more and we will have everybody in the brooder!! I kept them upright in the egg cartons right through hatch with high humidity and they are perfect. Let me know how everything works out for yours! Thank you for checking on us!

Yay!I am on day 15, and really worried about my shipped eggs. I have 9 in the incubator (out of 26). So far all are alive & well. Incubated in cartons with 20-30% humidity 98.5-100.8 temps.. Darn bi-polar weather!!!
