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.

I don't think those are aircells. Aren't they just circles put on to assist in turning the eggs?

A man and his ladies Hunkered down to keep warm last week in the single digits, DH sent this to my cell today he forgot he took it!
I love it!

That's what I want my Cochin flock to look like one day!!!

I thought that at first, but then I questioned because of how odd shaped circles and I dont see air cell pencil marks.... I pray he has better ones for sure!
