Shipped egg, weird air cell

[Cwillenburg]

Purchased some hatching eggs online, and while the majority of them seem to have misshapen air cells, this one just has a bubble that freely floats in the egg. Does it mean that it's no good and i should toss?

What day is it on? Sounds like a detached air cell. Don't toss it yet, they can sometimes still hatch if they're fertile.

Also if you do need to toss it (I hope you don’t), tie it up in a plastic bag to be sure it isn’t going to explode all over your bin.

i'd put them all in the incubator and candle at day 10 to decide which ones to toss ..

I just dealt with this last week. As suggested above I placed them in the incubator hoping for something but 3 of them had started leaking. It wasn't a big leak, just made them slightly sticky - they never made it. The membrane must have burst completely. 2 are currently developing something though. I nearly threw them all out but I was so surprised to see something had developed after 3 days. I am really conscious about turning them and handling them as any knock makes the air bubble go flying in all directions which has already happened so who knows how much that will affect development.
If they make it bonus.

I just got them yesterday. I let them settle until this morning and i candled them before putting them in the incubator.

Oh, ok! Are they valuable eggs?
You could leave it out (properly stored) for a few days, and then if any eggs quit early you can put the detached air cell egg in to give it a chance.
But I don't see any harm in putting it in. It should hatch fine.

No, just some fun breeds. I went ahead and put it in with the others but separated.

Ok. You could mark it so you know which one it is. Let me know how it goes!
