Yes, that saddle-shaped air cell is from shipping. This post has good info on how to incubate shipped eggs, including those with these types of aircells: https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...gs-no-problem.1046313/page-5385#post-16540512

They won't hatch, sorry, no development there...looks like a blood ring.

I've had shipped eggs with some pretty wonky air cells that did hatch. I wouldn't toss it out quite yet, especially if there's movement. I have one egg in my incubator now with the air cell on the long side of the egg. I'm hoping that one will be okay. I guess we'll both see. Good luck!
