I am on day 15 of my first attempt at hatching. I noticed in candling my eggs last night that the fluid is murky in several an if I roll is gently to candle the darkness moves whereas in my other eggs it stays in place. Because of the movement I cannot tell if there is a live chick or not. I do not want to handle too much. Should I keep these eggs in incubator or have I lost them?
 
Welcome to BYC!

On day 15 the egg will appear dark, as the chick is now occupying the majority of the egg.

I'm not sure if you have viewed this thread or not, but it shows you what to expect to see when candling the eggs:

For me, personally, I would probably leave them in the incubator. Perhaps somebody with more hatches under their belt will chime in.
Good luck to you, hatching chicks is great fun!
