Egg Shape and Hatchability

[bangarain]

Hello! I set 7 Ameraucana eggs today. All are undamaged, and air cells look good, but my wheaten ones are much more oblong than the others. Can a chick still develop safely in a longer, skinnier egg? The difference isn’t terribly extreme, but still enough of a difference to be noticeable.

I don’t know the answer, but I’m following because I also have a rather oblong egg I set this morning. I didn’t think much of it, but now I’m curious!

Not a pro, but I don't think it's misshapen at all and should be fine.

I had a bantamxstandard mic hatch just fine from a skinny bantam egg this year
