double air cells HELP

[1 Critter Camp]

On day 13 I have a partridge silkie egg with double air cells
One one each end
Each small
There is no way if it pips it can make it out
Do I watch it carefully and at internal pip I.help?
I have a separate incubator I can put it in
I can candle it during lock down and at internal pip open air cell
Each one on each end is small dime size

If the extra air cell just popped up, it's possibly indicating a leak in the shell, which isn't looking good for the embryo, obviously. If it was always there, it may have a genetic basis and the parents should be watched for a recurrence of production of such an egg. Either way it's not too likely it will make it to pipping, as far as I know, but I could of course be wrong. I can't offer much advice there, you're probably just going to have to play it by ear.

Best wishes.
