possible broken air cell, but chick still alive??

[Griffox]

When I candled today (day 17) there seemed to be movement in the aircell when I rock the egg, as if liquid is moving. The chick is still alive and kicking though. Will it survive until it pips? Is there anyway for me to prevent it from drowning? I don't want to lose this one!!!

I had several with wobbly air cells right there towards the end, and I left them in and they all hatched. Don't know if that helps.

That's very encouraging. Thank you Felicitas.

ETA: I really enjoyed looking at your paintings. You have an amazing gift. I'm envious.
