Eggs not floating in the water test

That's weird. Candling is the most reliable because you can physically see the chick.
Also, welcome to BYC!

Thank you!! I did put them on the light I could see the shadow of the chick but no movement, one of the eggs was quite speckally looking so not sure theres a chick in it?

They do not always move, they sleep a lot. And there is not much room left to move around at the end of incubation.

Thank you I will get photos in the morning for you, I think I've put them through enough today is it ok to ask another question please, is it ok to have the eggs propped in an egg carton? The other eggs are still being turned? Thanks so much for all your help!

You have to take the pics in the dark with the candle light the only source of light and you cannot use the flash on the camera either.

Candling is best done in a dark room in order to see the development.
