As the forming chick develops the nutrients and moisture used up by the chick inside the previously full egg is replaced by air. This air is allowed into the egg because the eggshell is porous. The air gathers at the end of the egg. You can see the results of this air transfer when you put a stale egg into a bowl of water, the egg floats at one end. This accumulated air is used by the chick as it starts to peep or break open the shell the day it hatches.
