Do these eggs look ok? Kinda concerned about them! First time with call duck hatching eggs!

Hey BYC members!

About a week ago someone shipped me 10 call duck hatching eggs, they told me how to hatch them and everything I’d need to know as it’s my first time with calls. Anyway, 3 out of 10 are good and developing, but they look kinda weird...
I think it has to do with the air sac so I’m kinda worried, but thought I’d get some advice! I’ve never see it in the past with hatching. So hopefully everything will be ok lol!!

Egg 1#

Egg 2#

Egg 3# (this is the one that I’m mostly concerned about)

Shipped eggs have wobbly air cells.

Ok, thanks!

What humidity are you running those eggs?

I’m not sure. I was told not to really Gage humidity by an old farmer. I have never gaged my humidity and get very good hatch rates!!!!!

Anyone else have any ideas about the eggs? Do y’all think they will hatch ok?

They are egg-shaped, not broken, have development... yup, looks good to me. (I am NOT an expert about hatching eggs!)

Ok, thank you!! I definitely feel more positive about them hatching now, so thank you!

Birdsbeestrees hatches a lot of Calls and she's already commented. @WVduckchick was just talking about air cells recently so she might be interested and/or have some input. Good luck! Calls are so sweet and adorable. You're going to fall in love quickly.

The first two look okay, the last one has a larger than normal air cell but it still looks like it could make it.

I had some eggs this spring shipped to me. four out of ten had weird air sacs, and two of them hatched just fine. One developed butt up, the other, it's air sac was so saddled it was like the air sac wrapped over the egg in a U and the chick punctured it too early in development before hatch day. This one does not look as bad as that one.
