So I have 3 rambunctious chicks out! And 4 more pips. 1 egg pipped wrong side and 1 chick is trying to bust out of the pointy end! I think I'm going to move the chicks to the brooder, so I can keep an eye on these 4 pips. This has been a busy night and only half way over!! I hope all the pips make it! Plus the other two look good and rocking but no pips yet! Going really good for shipped eggs!!

The air cell is detached because the chalaza is broken--It holds the air cell in place.

Eggs can still hatch--at about 25% but not under a broody.

See sallies thread-- diary of a detached air cell--for tips.


It is usually the cause and often with shipped eggs.

I do not know what is happening with the eggs that are not shipped, maybe the hen is laying eggs that are not complete.
That was my next question- what would be causing it in home eggs.

Is it a new layer?
Fairly they are only 5 months old. Most of them started laying in the last 4-6 weeks. I'm almost 100% positive all three are from the same pullet cause I only have two that are laying white eggs (that I know of) and one of those are the spitz that went broody 3 days ago and she isn't laying anything, so it would have to be from the other one that is laying white eggs, which is one of the mixes. Hopefully it's only a matter of maturation and it'll fix itself.
