Day 18 no movement in eggs!

[RFarmRachelle]

Hello everyone! I’ve hatched chickens, ducks and quail. Always had good hatch rates and I’m hatching some Light Sussex eggs and we’re on day 18 and I candles before lockdown and don’t see movement inside the egg. Is this normal? I feel like I’ve always seen them move! Who knows it’s been 3 years since I did chickens maybe I’m just stressing too much! Temp right at 99.5 the whole time!

I say just let them be, day 23 then you can be worried about it but they still have some time

Just dropping in to agree with @Bigtom Turkey I couldn't see any movement in most of my darker colored eggs toward the end, but they all hatched successfully. Sometimes they're just sneaky like that. Best wishes!

Day 18 for me too lol ....i never seen movement last time i incubated and no movement this time. Think they are all sleeping lol

Generally the egg is so filled with chick that movement becomes difficult.
