Were your eggs shipped? That can cause funny air cells but I think they usually hatch ok.

My shipped eggs are doing the same thing. They are day 16 I lowered the humidity and some shrank to normal but three of them styed the same. They have live chiks in them so I hope they hatch.

My shipped eggs last month had big weird air cells, and I ended up with 3/6 chicks. There were other factors that weren't ideal -- the eggs were also very old by the time I set them out. Good luck! Hopefully should be ok.

It may also be that your humidity level is too low? Check out hatching chicks in the Learning Center (top of page)
