x2 yeezus whites! the two that have normal air cells you can tilt after a day gently side to side

BELOW ROLLING AIR CELL OF A SHIPPED EGG​

Rolls like a Carpenters Level​

​

[COLOR=FF0000]UNDERSTANDING what goes WRONG with SHIPPED EGGS[/COLOR]​

The yolk of an egg is held in place on each end by what is called Chalaza. These are delicate cords that keep the yolk centered in the egg. When you crack open an egg, you notice a white stringy thing on the yolk, this is the Chalaza. When eggs are shipped they encounter postal handlers that toss the packages, sorting machinery, bumpy vehicle rides, temperature changes and possibly X-ray Machines! So by the time the eggs get to you they are pretty much scrambled inside. So if you are going to buy eggs and have them shipped to you, be aware that the viability drops TREMENDOUSLY. There are rare instances when they ALL arrive safely but it is always a gamble.​

BELOW ARE "SADDLE" SHAPED AIR CELLS​

​

[COLOR=000000]SADDLE SHAPED AIR CELLS are very COMMON with shipped eggs![/COLOR]​

[COLOR=000000]Saddle shaped is when [COLOR=FF0000]one or both sides have a large "dip" in the air cell.[/COLOR][/COLOR] [COLOR=333333]A lot of times with saddle shaped cells the chick doesn’t position correct for hatching and their feet can easily get stuck behind their head and “smoosh” the chick so they can’t move, it can also force the yolk sack and everything more north in the shell.... Keep a close eye on these eggs and its VERY important to pencil mark Air cells![/COLOR]​

some say they have hatched them, dont turn your eggs for three days just set upright in the bator and let them settle, the rolling ones you want to probably let longer without turning or tilting.... and I would keep ALL the eggs upright for the entire hatch just gently tilting them side to side in the egg carton with the bottoms cut out (not a paper one though) so they get circulation. again only tilt the heeled air cells after three days. its the only chance for them, you have to take the chance of healing them vs not turning when they are this bad. like I said silkie and polish are tough to travel

So a normal air cell has no movement? What kind of egg carton is OK? And when will I know if any are viable? Sorry for so many questions. I'm trying to get pics.
