its day 7 for my salmon faverolle eggs and to be honest i dont think any of them have air sacs never mind going to get chicks from them they all seem just completely clear they where brought of ebay so im thinking just toss em and stick to my silkies which go into lockdown tomorrow and my new embden goose eggs that should arrive tomorrow

If I were you, I would give them some more time. Seven days IMHO is really not that long. Maybe just late bloomers.

what about the missing air cells they should be easy to see but there is just nothing im thinking ive been ripped off basically i brought 8 after the first night 3 where weeping i justthought that they where bad after the traveling now im thinking that ive been conned
 
I'm a newbie - only four hatches so far. But I have found great success when I candle at 9 or 10 days. I have kept a few clears, and they never develop. But the eggs that candle good at 9/10 days develop. Works for me so far. I'm running (in a whole 4 hatches, lol), a 90% success rate. Just my two pennies' worth.
 
If you're 100% sure that there's NOTHING in them, I would take one and crack it open to look for the bulls eye mark on the yolk (it's white and shaped like this: @). Also look to see if the air bubble is there and just wasn't visible through candling? Save the rest and keep going, they may start developing more soon. Maybe you could even try contacting the person who sold them to ask about it? If none of the eggs develop, I would definitely ask for a refund or have free eggs resent to you to replace the ones that were "false" if that's what they really are.

Good luck!
