Have you candled? best way to tell whats going on and where the air sack is.

yes i candled them and they all but one has a large air sack. Im still very new to this just hatched out my first egg 10 days ago.

I'm really no help here as I've just started up putting eggs in an incubator but from one newbie to another there are very experienced Hatchers over in the thread formerly known as hatch day. That's where I go to ask questions and look up information. Maybe someone there can help you good luck on the rest of your hatch!

Is this discoloration above the air cell? Or below? If above air cell level- I always notice a "greasy" looking spot before mine pip, where I assume they have rubbed the shell so thin. But it's usually only a small spot.

If it's below air cell level, I might worry they've tried to pip and hit a vessel, but I wouldn't think so many would do it, I don't believe it's that common??

But like ducklover87 suggested, take it to the "formerly known as" thread and you will probably get more help. And candle, see what you can tell. Good luck!!
