so i dont know how i overlooked this before i put the eggs in the incubator, but i have two eggs, both with developing ducklings inside, that have wierd air cells.
i candled all eggs before putting them in the incubator, im guessing i overlooked the first one, which doesnt have a double yolk, but seems to have a double air cell, i dont have a working camera, so i used photoshop to make a quick reference. it looks like this:

is it possible for this baby to survive? im on day 13 of 28, and have seen movement inside both of these eggs... my other wierd air sack looks like this:

i dont think the air cell should be that big, it is larger than the others with babys inside, and its a little wavy looking, as if it was punctured, but its not.
im just wondering if you think they have a chance, and what possibly they are, double air cell or what not.
thanks for any input

are these shipped eggs? aircells like this are common on shipped eggs and it should not affect their development.
 
yes cindyS they are shipped eggs, i should have mentioned that when i mentioned one maybe looked punctured or pushed almost. but they are alive and moving, so i hope for the best. my pictures arent so great but i guess i got my point across.
thankyou for the reply, i feel better knowing someone elses opinion on thier chances.

I have eleven dark brahmas that look just like that and they are due to go to the hatcher tomorrow. They are all developing well. I have heard that ones with air cells like that hatch better if they are kept pointed up, like the egg carton method. I plan to just stop my egg turner and leave them in it and just monitor the hatch. Wish me luck.
 
We have had weird air cells, and they seem to make it out alright for the most part.

I always think that there is no way, and they have proven me wrong several times.

I like being wrong that way
