Need some help on my eggs' air pockets

What I suspect you might be seeing is the blood island, not the air cell.

The day you first put the eggs in the incubator is day 0. The next day is day 1, and so on. As with the eggs in the link I posted, there are a few reasons that the air cell is not overly distinct yet. Notice on day 7 & 8 how the air cell is much easier to distinguish. Leave them alone for a week, then candle. You should get a much better idea at that time.

No, no no. I'm pretty sure it's an air cell. This is only my third time incubating eggs and this is also the first time I've seen an air cell on the side of an egg. Maybe I've seen one before I think but it somehow fixed itself? I am not sure. I checked the eggs again and I only saw 5/15 have that kind of air cell. Maybe they just need some time? Oh and I'll try to get some pictures too. It's hard to take a picture with my phone since I also use its flashlight to candle..

But yes, I think I should leave them for a week, then I'll come back to post an update.
