Well I'm new to this and was wondering if you could look at the pictures of these two eggs and tell me if my eggs are looking correct? They all look like this. Sorry about poor pic quality but these were the best I could take. These pics do not show the veins that are noticable in person and you can even see the eye on one of them... Is that the air cell at the bottom??? Is that normal??? I can't really see anything at the top/large end... Please let me know what to do??? I have them little end down in an egg tray in my Brinsea 20 ECO with auto turner... humidity 30-40% and temp 100... The first pic is a bantam egg and the other two are medium sized eggs...

They look great!
And it sounds as if your humidity and temp's are right on.
Your pictures are side view and small end so we are not seeing the air cells. That room on the bottom (small end) is the egg white, which will disapate as the chick grows into it.
Good luck

OOh, those look good. Just remember, your egg has a yolk and a white....you're seeing the egg whites at the bottoms.....

Crossing my fingers for a great hatch for you!

I took pictures of them on end but really they looked the same as these... No definate aircell noticable... I do see a outline of a ring about dime or nicle sized at the top of each egg but it is not lighter in color. like I think it should be if it is a hollow air cell??? Is that the airsac even though it is only a ring shape with out being lighter in color inside when candled? These are 7 days along and laid from my own birds... Thanks

I have large dual breed eggs in mine I too freaked out thinking the white was the air sack. My humidity was a little low the air sacks were the size of 50 cent piece at 7 days upped to 55 and now they are looking like the size of a quarter I'm trying to keep it at 40 to 45 but it seemed like the eggs used up more moisture? It went down to 25 and when I added more water it still needed more added than I had before. This morning when I turned them it was at 50 I'm candling them tonite if all looks well I'll leave the water the way it is just wont let go dry like I was before.
