i thought id candle my eggs today as i thought id be able to tell pretty easily which were good and which were bad...but i see nothing...just a dark side and a see through side (air sac?)in some and pretty much see thorugh in a few others (infertile i guess?) ive never really candled before so dont know exactly what im looking for but thought id at least see some sort of movement at this stage. now i fear my super low humidity from the other day has killed them all off

You may be okay on the ones with dark side and Air sack. I do not usually see any movement either. Best of Luck with Your Hatch!
 
IT IS HARD TO SEE MOVMENT that far into development if all you see is the air sack then they have developed that far and you will have to wait and see wish you the best of luck and happy haching BANJO

Dark side and air sac are about right! I saw movement around days 8 and 12 when I candled, but by the time I candled on day 18 right before lockdown, they all looked the same... dark/fullofchick on one side, filling about 2/3 or 3/4 of the egg, with an air sac on the large round end. Due to the fact that I have 3 pips, I'm taking these as good signs, as should you! Keep a close watch and let us know what happens.
 
By day 16, if you don't have a really bright light, well, you won't see much of anything if something is in there! So from what it sounds, those dark ones "look good".
 
I agree, your eggs are most likely fine, as if for the ones that your light shines right through That means they diddent develop
