Shipped egg air cell

[Wensleydale Farms]

I have heard that the air cell on shipped eggs detaches or get popped. i am getting shipped eggs Wednesday or Thursday how do i make sure the air cell isn't detached or popped and what do i do if it is detached?

If you candle them you can look at the air cell on the big end.

If they are detached or scrambled, the air cell will be badly misshapen, or possibly little bubbles floating around inside.

We have never succeeded with bubbles. We have been able to hatch misshapen.



Good luck,

I have hatched many chicks with the mis-shapen air cells. They kinda look real high in some areas
and real low in others. I don't candle until day eight at the earliest so not sure how
well you can see it early on.
