A detached air sack just looks like a dark grey bubble of air about the size of a marble that floats to the very top side of the egg shell when candled, it will move in time with the turning and may have smaller bubbles attached to it, it is fairly noticable and much clearer to see than the yolk plus much smaller, of all the eggs I have candled that had detached air cells none hatched or even went so far as to develop
so as soon as I see one I know the egg is a no no but I still set it anyway
as some people do report success!
