Title: Air bubble in egg help!
Post by: PIGBOY on June 04, 2013, 09:00:21 pm

I have just bought some eggs off ebay and 12 of them arrived today, as i candled them looking for any cracks on a few of them i came across a moving bubble. Is this anything to worry about or is it normal?
Hope you guys can help!

I've had a couple of these with eggs through the post. Means they're dead I'm afraid. I think its damage from the post and shaking. I've only ever seen it in eggs through the post.

If I have ever had any through the post I always leave them at least 24 hours to settle before putting them in the incubator just incase.  You never know what's happened on the journey.  Not a fan of posted eggs to be honest but sometimes needs must!!!
