EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

Quick question for you experts:
I received 35 wonderfully packaged shipped eggs yesterday, but most are OE and CM and so dark, I truly can't see inside to figure out if the aircells are intact. (I have tried out many different flashlights)
I was able to see inside the polish eggs, and all of them are intact with the exception of 1 polish that just has a wobbly/jiggly aircell.
In your opinion would you treat the OE and CM eggs as if they had a wobbly aircell, or treat them like they are intact?

You're unbelievable! What about your birds' comfort? Would you develop a strain with down instead of feathers, or whale blubber in place of their normal skin?

Nah, they need that top layer of good stiff feathering to keep the warmth in. I'd get out of bantams, sell some of my LF, and then breed for cold hardiness alone. I have a few birds that could probably take a perpetual winter.

I'd treat them as if they were damaged.

No way can I be classified an expert in any subject but myself, but I'd say wait 'til 7-10 days & look again. As far as the wobbly air cells, I ain't your man. Good luck.
 
I have to go spend a large portion of the day in the woods, splitting, loading, and probably delivering wood for some of the members of DW's church who can't afford it. There's a better than average chance of rain, so I don't know how much we'll get done, but BIL drafted me, & I told him I'd be there. Already regretting it.
I won't fish in the rain; I sure don't want to be screwing around with wood in the rain.
