Lose air cells

[FarmerGirl101]

So I got MPC eggs and I let them sit in a cool dark place. For three days the air cells keep on getting looser. Why? What can I do?

When you say getting looser, what do you mean? Are they getting bigger?

No the air cells are shifting so pretty much if I flip them with the fat side down the air cell move to the pointy end

Ugh, I'm sorry about that. I had some like that in my last shipment of eggs and I am sad to say that those eggs were completely scrambled. But, you could try to incubate them anyway, upright, and see in 7 - 10 days if there is any development in them. Will MPC offer any kind of a refund or reshipment if you receive 'scrambled' eggs?

I don't know. Let me check

 

[FarmerGirl101]

i don't think so

Well, if you feel like giving them a go for incubation, try it. You never know, some may stabilize. Are all the eggs like this?

Give them a try anyway! What have you got to lose?
I'd leave them sitting upright in the incubator for the first 24-48 hours. Don't move them at all, don't check them, don't even touch them.
