    So the other eggs did not hatch and I was wondering if I should just put the eggtopsy's in this thread or is there a different thread to put them in. I did learn allot from them and know why they did not hatch.

    well all but four hatched not sure why I candled them and no movement I'm assuming that they didn't make it but i'll let them go for the night and do eggtopsy if they still have not pipped or hatched. still I think 20 out of 24 was good for my first time.
