will an egg with a detached cell hatch?

[mollybuck]

I candled tonight. Just a few because I am crazy.. but of the 6 I did 2 have a detached air cell. I already had 2 noted in the list list that were not these, but one of these seems to still be growing. The other one quit, maybe 2 days ago....and when I candles last they were both ok..

i think it might just hatch.

Sometimes. Don't give up on them, but don't be shocked if they don't make it out of the shell. I have had chicks with damaged air cells hatch and chicks not be able to get into position and not make it out. Keep the air cells up until lockdown.
