I am on day 14 and I candled some of my eggs today. I see veining and airsacks. I also see what appears to be the little peeps but they seem small for this stage.I could be wrong but when I looked at pictues online mine seem like the ones they showed at 7 days. These peeps move around when I candle so I am not mistaking what they are. Do they grow alot in the last week?
 
Yep, they grow a lot the last week. They've mostly finished developing, and all they do the last week, really, is get bigger

Good luck on your hatch.
 
can you see them twitching as a reaction to the light? also check your humdity, be sure you are between 45-55, 50% being the goal. at 99.5-100.5 and that Rh, I have 100% hatches.

good luck and don't worry, they are genetically fit to hatch properly, I don't think you have to stress too much about them, they're smart cookies!!!
