Eggs with no air cell?

Thanks Dipsy, and others...interesting bit of information.

I DO appreciate this site.

I also have an air cell question. This is only my second hatch and on my first hatch I took over incubation around day 8....so this is probably just ignorance but for future reference I thought I'd ask. I'm currently very early into incubation (day 3) on this second hatch and have found 2 of my 7 eggs to be without air cells. The embryo is developing like normal from what I can tell, but there is absolutely no air cell. These two are bantam silkies, while my others are not. Is that why, possibly? Is it just because I'm candling so early? I'm trying to learn as much as possible, so I would appreciate any advice.

Also, I should note that these are from a farm and not shipped.
