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......

Sally, I was thinking that is the 0 on one side..the X on the other? That he just marked a big ol 0 on it. Is that an air sac?

today my second incubator arrived and I have been adjusting the temperature, It will be hatching only. 26 eggs are "day 18" this evening and will be moved to the new machine as soon as I get it dialed in.

in the incubator i put it on the black wire coming in to the heat source and place it at the top of the bator. its essentially a mini wafer type thermostat that shuts off the heat source if it gets too hot

At what temp dose it cut out at?
