Help!!! Air cell too big!!!

[bex1983]

Day 26 on Ancona duck eggs, locked down at day 23/24 because of lots of movement...everything looked normal yesterday but today 2 of my eggs have air cells that cover the entire side of the egg!! One appears to be internally pipped (I think, pics below) but is it going to be able to turn with an air cell so large? These were shipped eggs and they were upright the first week but then the air cells were stable....What do I do at this point?

First 2 photos are one egg, lowest pencil line on first photo is where the air cell was yesterday, trying to show what I think to be the internal pip in the second photo, third photo is second egg....movement at edge of air cell but I don’t believe it is pipped (excuse blurriness, my son took pics while I candled)

This late in the process I don’t really think there is much to be done except to wait. Good luck!

I just don’t understand how it happened like that overnight? Humidity is up around 80%...stopped misting when I locked down...

That egg quit..It's dead.

Which one? There is movement in both...

Sloshing because I see no active blood vessels and if day 26 the egg should be full with a Duckling ready to hatch soon.

Perhaps that’s part of the area where the air cell detached and when it started to draw down it become much more noticeable how saddled it really was?

It isn’t sloshing....what the picture is showing is the air cell....there are still blood vessels in the other half of the egg and there is an internal pip and the beak is still moving. The issue is the air cell is now basically covering half of the egg lengthwise...

Then Candle from the fat end of the egg. I can't see what your seeing?...
Possibly it will hatch ....

The pic is the egg laying on its side being candled from the fat end, the pencil like is where the cell dipped to yesterday...
