Very detached air cells!

[MabelTheMuscovy]

Hello!
I have ordered hatching eggs, and some of them have arrived today. I have used posted eggs before with great success, however this time I am worried about the air cells. In most of the eggs the air cell is floating all around the egg when I gently turn it... it doesn't seem to be attached at all
Is there any chance these would hatch, or anything I can do to help?
Thanks for any help

I don't have any personal experience with shipped eggs, but I've heard that they're notorious for detached air cells. I've read that you should store them fat end up for 48 hours before placing them in the incubator to allow the air cells to reattach. I've never had any luck with hatching eggs that had d etatched air cells unfortunately.

Thanks for getting back to me! I have let them sit pointy end down for 24hours so far (unfortunately the were posted pointy end up which didn't help) so I will leave them another day. I will try incubating them upright and turning gently.... I want to give them a chance because I have had about 1/3 of chicks hatch with detached air cells before but never quite THIS detached.
Thanks again

It was suggested to me to put them in the incubator pointy end down and not turn for a few days on my shipped eggs. I had fair results with it. I don’t think I let them set long enough without rotation though before I started rotating.
