How large should the air cell be?

[stitch81]

I have eggs at day 9, some air cells are bigger than others. Does that mean anything? How big should the air cells be?

Here is a good chart on what the air cell should look like at different days. Hope this helps!

Great! That's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

What book is that from?
is there a rule of thumb for how big the air pocket should be as a % of the egg size?

@OzChickens, this thread is from 10 years ago. You probably won't get an answer about where the chart came from, unfortunately.

Start a new thread with your question about air cell size, and you probably will get some information.
