I'm incubating shipped eggs that are on day 9. I candled today and found that every single egg has a detached egg cell -- and the air sacs look kind of large as well. However, 10 of 12 were developing and I can see movement in all of them. I've hatched shipped eggs before, and usually detached air cells mean scrambled yolks and no development.
I have no idea how many, if any, will hatch. They are in a Brinsea 20, so they are being incubated with the air side up, and rocked back and forth rather then being "turned". My plan is to stop the rocking on day 16, and place them in egg carton, fat side up to hatch.
If anyone has had completely detached air cell eggs hatch, I'd love to hear some positive stories. Otherwise, I will let you know what happens.
