My eggs go on lockdown tomorrow!! It is my first hatch, I am so excited!  I have noticed that a lot of people mark their air sac.  Is this so they know where the chick will pip?  Should I mark them all tonight?  Hopefully I will have chicks soon.

I'm on day 18th tomorrow. Yeee finally.

Sounds like someone handled them a bit to roughly maybe?
Wondering if freezing partially without cracking the shell will break the yolk?
I sit my base in the tub, squirt in a bit of dishsoap & a dab of bleach (white vinegar also works), run the shower over it as hot as possible, let it soak for an hour or sp & then rinse. Make sure to let it air dry for a day or 2 but to make sure the chickens can't get to it. Chickens eat styrofoam. For the lid, wipe down with bleach water or vinegar water & allow to dry.

Probably.
