Day 19 - Chicken Egg

[Bellowood]

I'm not exactly sure how a Forum works so please forgive me in advance...but I have a question about day 19. The Egg when I candle it looks like most of the pics on YouTube, but I have been candling all along the way and I don't think I have a bright enough light...I have never seen any "veins", but the Dark shadow has been getting bigger. Wondering if it's going to hatch or blow up, LOL

What do you guys recommend for a light and where can I buy one?

The instructions (first timer!) say that the egg should start to move on it's own between day 19-21, is that accurate?

Thank you!!
Kim

I personally prefer the flashlight of a cellphone. It is bright and concentrated.
