should i candle the eggs? its day 24, evening time. I've seen no further movement, so candling them seems like my best bet.

Yes candle them and then go read up on calibrating the incubator.

All of the eggs should be opened up to determine when they died.

You can use this to help figure out the cause

hello!
My name is Ella Jean Thomas, I am the older sibling of one sister, daughter of my mom Lisa, and dad Mark, and i have three cats, dog-owner-to-be, soon-to-be mother of 3 muscovy ducks, and 9 silkies. I have a sucker fish named Phyllis, and three large orange exotic fish too. I live in Goleta, CA. I looooove plants, hoping to become a horticulturist when I’m older! I volunteer running the Fairview gardens farmstand, Mondays and tuesdays, and am a swimmer for a local competitive team. On top of loving plants and herbology, I also enjoy making handmade lip balms, drawing and soap making plus culinary arts and ceramics. But as much as i love plants, writing is an equal passion. I would love to be an author sooooo much, and posting short stories every month on this website is a goal of mine! My pen name is typically Ella J. Mushroom, but since this websites is all about poultry, I added my abseeiosn with steampunk style and the Victorian era, to my username. Occasiona;lay, i do sell my handmade lip balm and stuff, so please glance over to my contact info, if you’re a Goleta local, and would like to purchase anything. My email is [email protected] (please contact me if you’d like two get more info abut Fairview Gardens and or my handmade -all organic- cosmetics.) - Ella J.T.

Glad you're here !

A must have for your poultry is a FIRST AID KIT for any issues that would arise. (https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/suggestions-for-a-first-aid-kit.1150128/)
It's definitely better to have it and not need it rather than need it and not have it.
