loose air sacs

[muddipuppy]

if an egg arrives in the mail with a loose air sac does it have a chance of making it? should i just toss them?

anyone?

I think you are supposed to place them in a carton, big end up, to let them "settle" for a few days before incubating. That should allow the air sacs to go back into position for the hatch. Hope that helps!

Sorry I just saw this post. I purchased eggs before the holidays and when they arrived, all 30 of them had loose air sacs even after settling for 24-48 hours. I still put them in the incubator and all of them now have growing embryos in them. I don't know if they will hatch, but today is day 13 and they are all still looking good. I don't think it hurts to try. I know others have not had good luck with loose air sacs but so far I have. Good luck!

Great. Thanks for the help!

Yes, some of your eggs may still hatch with damaged air cells. Good Luck!
