I had a couple of eggs like this last year! The weird thing was that I knew whose eggs they were - one of our best Barred Plymouth Rock hens. I set several of her eggs under a broody last year along with some others, but I had hers marked, and when I candled them part way through, most of hers had a normal air cell at the top, but one had a normal SIZED air cell directly in the middle of the side of the egg. I was worried, but it looked like it was developing ok, and the chick ended up hatching fine on its own!

I noticed it on another egg later that year from a different hen, who also had a 2nd egg in the incubator with a normal air cell. I think I had to help this out out a bit, but the chick was fine.

If your egg looks like it is developing, then I would leave it in and just keep an eye on it at hatch time.

I can't see it very clearly since it is one of my EE eggs, but when I candle again, if it still looks okay, I am going to mark it. So strange- I have never heard of it before. Glad to hear that it isn't something too bad.
