Advice on Candling Eggs

I started my eggs at almost the exact same time! According to what I have read tonight would be the 14th day. I have also read that some people stop turning their eggs on days 16 or 17 instead of waiting until the 18th to make sure they are in position. I am not positive about that being the best advice, but since I have read it a few times here on BYC I am planning to lay mine flat on the 16th some time. I figure that isn't too early and shouldn't be too late. Then I am expecting them to hatch no earlier than the 19th but most likely on the 20th because of the late start on the 29th.

But then again I could have this all messed up because of nerves and over-thinking.

Correct me if you think I've got something wrong!

Also I plan to candle up until the 16th when I am laying them flat. Then I will do the lockdown thing. I have a couple really dark eggs that I am unsure about, but as long as they don't start to smell I am going to leave them in until every other egg has hatched and then remove them. I just worry about accidentally terminating an egg that is actually good just because Im not able to see what's going on inside.
 
the 16th at 10pm marks day 18. day 21 is the 19th at 10pm. So expect pips on the morning of the 19th. Hatching during the day on the 20th. Unless your temps were off.
