I must admit, I haven't seen much movement from that time either but hopefully that can be normal. Hope you get some better advice. Im on day 28 and hoping for the hatch now but still no movement

Usually you need to be in a room (closet) with no light at all to see as they fill the egg up. At lockdown I check eggs to make sure they are still ok, usually can see the membrane pushing into the air cell at this time. Sometimes will see an internal pip as well. Lock em down and then wait it out.

Yes normal sometimes you don't see much movement ans sometimes the little buggers are dancing up a storm.

thanks for all the replies. I candled them to double check and I saw some movement! Can't wait

This late in the game movement can be much more difficult to see because they are so cramped in the egg.
