Oh! I didnt know its your first! Your aircells are sorta displaced on those two? A normal position is at the fat end of the egg like such, note the chicks position? It needs to have the air cell at the fat end so when it positions for hatching it can PIP internally into the air cell area. Most times these funky cells keep the chick from rotating into position... Sometimes they can be assisted to hatch, but its not an easy assist with any malpositions see article the assist article link below to understand what the actual hatching process involves. https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/step-by-step-guide-to-assisted-hatching

They are not rolling air cells are they? meaning from side to side? Your two look like this? but stationary? Those do happen as well. a paste from the hatching 101 Article......

Check out my broody coop in progress:

Our weather comes from the North and the West so most of the ventilation will originate on the East and South







I keep telling the girls they have to show me the money to get to move into it but so far all I have had has been a bit of breast plucking and some extended ...3 hour sitting. So far the one who seems most likely to lead lead broody fever is a mutt named Norma. Mama is an Australorp, Dad was a barnyard mix ??? we think part American Game


This was her last fall


Mama^^^


Daddio

I like your maternity ward!!! I want one!!! =)
Your broody's daddio looks like a dark version of my rooster Eddie. He's from a WL hen and a GLW roo.


Okay, not exact, but it looks like your roo might have some GLW in him.
