Unusual Air Cells.

[emmallaub]

I have shipped Call duck eggs, which I checked today (day 5), just to see the ones that were looking promising because I've heard how tough they are to hatch.

I'm rather happy because 7/10 are looking pretty good, but one or two of them have rather large dips in the air cell. I know that can happen when you ship, but they're still developing so will they make it? My humidity is 35-25%, but I'm not worried about it much because I'm just trying to match the air cell size to the needed one for certain days.

So, do you guys have any tips for babies with weird air cells?
Also how can I track their air cell growth since it's so wonky.

They could still make it Saddled air cells are a little tricky, but as long as they lose the appropriate amount of moisture they can still do well. When it's time for lockdown, put the side of the egg that the air cell comes down the farther on on the top. The duckling will then hopefully position to pip into it there.

Thank you so much!
I'm already in love with my little babies so I want to do anything I can to make sure they survive, so this helps a lot!
