Large Air Cell on Day 13 *diagram included* Update!

Airianna, Airiel, etc.

I think your idea for names is cute. I never thought to name based on what went on while the chicken was developing in the egg.

lol Thank you, I thought of those names too! I was leaning toward Airiel! Ohhh I think I just got it, since it will be Aries anyway....Airies! Me either but the names have just been coming along. Now just to figure out if they are boys or girls! So far two are pretty much named. The other one is "Star" because its usually the star of all my candling videos since its so active! I always use that e-g-g because its sure to have some hyper action in it. The other is "Biggy" because it is a giant e-g-g!! Although he is known as this now the name will change....it deserves a nice name!

Oh wow, thank you so much for including your thread. It was very helpful, and gives me some hope! Congrats on your wacky air sac baby too!! Hopefully mine will have the same ending!

Thank for posting about this, some of mine look sort of like that, and I was wondering if they were ok. Now I feel better, my 3ggs are fine! My are shipped 3ggs, too.

I had a couple like that with the batch I just hatched and I had almost a hundered % just one baby drowned while hatching or something.
I have some like that with the e,g.gs due friday to and as of the day 18 candleing I saw moventment in 9-11 so I think we are ok , the only one I worry about is the one with the air cell that takes up half the dang thing ,
I think they will be ok , do the babies in them look ok ?

Tuffoldhen, is your avatar of a Blue Andalusian? I just purchased e-g-g-s from ebay and am keeping my

fingers crossed that they are fertile. What a gorgeous bird regardless of what he is. My favorite Rooster is my Cherry E-g-ger.

As for your e-g-g-s they are fine, whenever I get one like that (which is often) as someone already stated, it is the first to hatch.

I have had air cells that look like that and other odd shapes.
Doesn't seem to effect hatching.

Oh thank you, I was sure it was doomed!! The other air cells look normal compared to this one. Sometimes the air cell seems as if it has liquid in it. Im not sure if it actually does but it looks like it at times while Im candling it. The babies look active in all of them, especially hyper in 2. One likes to ram up against the egg shell. I find myself talking to the egg saying "Oh, no no no! What are you doing!?" The baby in the weird air cell egg seems to be very active and growing well. I thought it might be so active because it feels as if hes being smushed! Now hopefully he is just healthy!
