Embryo developing right under air cell line

[SilkieLoverFarm]

So I receive shipped eggs where most all had detached air cells. So I read a lot in regards to that. This being my first egg shipment. I have them upright in an egg carton, big end up. From what I read, I was to just leave them alone, no turning or anything for 3- 7 days.

I ended up candling last night being day 4. And what I saw was the embryos developing really close to the air sac line, which are still not healed.

This is only my second time incubating. The first time was with my own silkie eggs. This time being shipped eggs, also silkies.

I've tried to search online for embryo development near the air sac line and I'm finding nothing. all the pictures I see and through my own experience with the first time incubating the development looks to be usually in the middle of the egg roughly.

Unfortunately I can't really take a picture. But the development is right under the air sac line, they look like the little spiders with little veins.

My incubator does have a fan. The temps are spot-on. It's been suggested to also run humidity low. So I've been around 30%. Although sometimes that dips down into the teens, when sleeping. Sometimes it holds. it's also been suggested to just go completely dry and add no water.

Help, please.

Has anyone else experienced this? Did it end good?

Yes it's happened with my eggs and everything worked out fine.

Big sigh of relief, thank you!

Were yours shipped with detached air cells? What steps did you take through incubation with your success? Humidity through process? Turning? Auto or manual? When did you start turning? Did you keep them upright the entire time? Hatching, on side or upright?
Humidity during lockdown?

Were they silkie eggs?

My first hatch with my own silkie eggs were laid down in a turner. Is the high embryo development normal for eggs standing on end?

I wrote an article. https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/hatching-shipped-eggs.75470/ I've incubated ducks, call ducks, large fowl chickens, bantam chickens, and peachick eggs that were shipped. High embryo development is common when you have them upright.

This is exactly where I always see the first signs of development.
Don't worry.
