Chicken eggs day 20, no egg movement or pips

[Bigcheeks]

Hey, so I just joined byc, I am very new here, and this is our second batch of eggs. We have 6 chicken eggs, 2 are Easter eggers, 1 are leghorns, and the other is barred rocks and one pretty dark egg. Yesterday and day 18, we saw decent movement. But now we’re seeing no movement of the eggs. I really want these to hatch.

Candle the eggs, you can use a cell phone flashlight. The wiggling was probably the chicks getting into position for hatching. What you should see when candeling on day 20 is shadowing in the air cells of internally pipped chicks.

We just candled them and it only shows the air sacs on two of them. Is that good? The other 4 seem fine.

Are these eggs underneath a bird or in an incubator?

Can you have someone take a clear picture of the egg as you are shining a light into the air cell?

This is how much an air cell will "draw down" when it's time for hatching.
Here you can see the shadow movement of the internally pipped chick.

There in an incubator. Temp 37.5c and humidity is around 70% also for the phone part I will try with it. My brother just saying leave the eggs alone. So yeah I will hopefully try to send a picture OR candle them asap

They looked somewhat like that.

Yeah...leaving the egg alone is actually a good idea.
