should i be scared if my egg has a detached air cell

Hello and Welcome to BYC!

You will get more answers if your thread title is more helpful. For example "Detached air cell, should I be worried?" this will get more people's attention than "hi".

Unfortunately I cannot answer your question but I'm going to see if I can get some other people in to help.

They will still hatch but at about a 25% hatch rate.

For the first week they need to be treated very gently and they should be incubated in cartons not on their side.

You will also need to be prepared to assist. Read the assisted hatche articles in the reading center
