Not sure when I will candle again. I think I will give it a few more days. I am hoping to be surprised over the clear ones.

If an egg gets agitated too much, I've seen it from shipping...never tried it out, but the air cell gets detached from the shell and will roll around, you can see this during candling as you turn the egg.

The ones with detached air cells won't make it, though I think I've seen them try.
