Turn the egg as you candle someitmes its dark in one spot and light in another they may look 1/2 full but not toally or not 1/3rd.if you see movement its alive and growing. By day 17 they should look almost all dark but for an air cell in the big end(hopefully big end) Sometimes you cant even see  te air cell

nah.  Remember, the hatching may be a bit delayed if you got them from a store.  I say hold on to them for about 3 or 4 days over 21, just in case.  If they moved themselves, they're probably alive
