You getting any snow?

No snow in valley thankfully. Very few people here could handle that. Not sure of the snow level. It's supposed to get to 1500 feet last night. I'm at 400 elevation

So I'm prepared, what are the risks/potential complications of too LARGE an air cell?

(I'm off to go dig through the info, just thought I'd also ask...)

- Ant Farm

Eggs that lose too much moisture because of low humidity levels, produce a larger air space but a smaller, weaker youngster is formed in the remaining space and will probably die before or during the hatch.

I hope it holds.

Temporary for now. It was raining when I slid the flashing in there. Keep checking inside so far so good. Thanks

......And then you also have the egg with an air cell taking up nearly 3/4 of the egg on day 18. Hatches perfectly with a normal (albeit smaller and more fragile) chick.
