Weird shaped air cell

[XseankellyX]

5 eggs in my incubator have weird shaped air cells, like partly detached, saddle shaped/ U-shaped and detached,
its day 14 so its in the later stage of incubation. I wasnt here for the first 13 days so i couldnt act early.
The eggs are on their sides,
will they hatch?

Thanks

they sound like shipped egg air cells. as long as they are growing you are ok

I have a few with the same issue. How did the hatch go?

I have had crazy air cells like that with shipped eggs, and have had good hatch rates. I've noticed they're more inclined to pip at the wrong end, but it's worked out fine.

The ones with fully detached air cells died but I had 4 out of 5 hatch! Now they are happy 2 week old chicks, they are gettingblots of feathers

Did you have to help them out if they piped at wrong end? Thank you. I have 18 bad air cells. Here is my post with all the photos and a video:

Question.
Shipped eggs. The air cell BC marans eggs is saddle shaped. Incubated dry. ~10% weight loss. Incubated on side until day 16. . Hatch upright? Thoughts? Stopped turning at day 16,today.
