Name the eggs! Choose your baby to root for!

These are all the questionable eggs. #1 and #4 and #9 are brats and won't let me see much. I did take some pics of eggs where it is lighter on one side. I assume it's bc I can't see the air cell? Idk. What do yall think?

P.s. I don't think #6 is making it. I couldn't see any movement at all in there or the embryo. I put a question mark on it and will check again tomorrow or Friday.

Hmm I can’t tell if it’s the angle of the pics but are the air cells on the pointy sides?

No. They are on the side? That's the light part right, other spots are on the big part on the bottom.

I know. Even after we gave her a makeover. I am hoping I am wrong and maybe she was just in the middle and I couldn't see.

Air cells should be at the top of the big end. As the chick grows and gets into position to pip and hatch, it's head will be at the end of the egg, hopefully the big end. Side or pointy end air cells are quite difficult to hatch from.

Is the air cell supposed to be light like the pics?

You should be able to see through the air cell, it should be light because it's only air. Your eggs should look like this diagram... https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...e-your-baby-to-root-for.1602341/post-27267634

It's hard to see an air cell with those light parts. It also doesn't help if I can't see into the other eggs. Lol. Wish yall could see them in person and be like "see that there? That's an air cell"

There are lighter spots but not light as the big white half. I am so confused on what's an air cell and what isn't. Hoping they hatch right if they all make it.
