    Air cell toward the top

    We were candeling our 7 day eggs and this eggs air cell was not at the top. We can see movement already. So is this normal or will chick die? It was correctly placed in the incubator but it is off center and to the side 😱 so above cell you can see is the top wide part of the egg
