I have one egg with a very small air cell, and another egg that was near-scrambled during shipping and actually has _2_ air cells. Happy, moving, well veined chick, 100% certain not a gas bubble. Both are small, well stabilized, and I figure it was one air cell originally that split from shipping damage and reattached in two places (side and where it should be). As a result, both are too little to be functional I fear.
For both of these eggs, I'm wondering, should I put safety holes in the small air cells before lockdown? I'm near-certain there won't be enough air in there if they internally pip at day 19 for them to finish using up the yolk and for the one with 2 cells, I'm not sure which it will choose, if any.
