I just got done candleing mine and I know I saw 3 with babies moving, and a few with what looks like blood rings! Others I am not sure about, but I don't think I will even get a 50% hatch.

I think I may need a stronger flashlight! Also my temps seem to be going from 100 to 102. Is this going to hurt my babies?

Welcome to the world of hatching. Are they shipped? Try and keep it closer to 100 if possible a little lower is better not GOOD but better .Constantly too low can malform the chicks or early death i have read. recently.but for it to go down for some hours not all the time ....wont hurt them.
My bator went to 103 the other day.102 ok probaby.... 103 worrys me
.Well if the temp didnt go up for very long the eggs will be ok Takes a while for the temp to go up in the egg..
BUT after days of this one bator driving me crazy use to be alot better. I .Got mad and sold it bought another Genesis
I get so frustated with temp swings. Cant take it and this one keeps gong so crazy. 93.5 a day then 103....UH
 
just candled a few mins a go and all have lil wiggles in them but i have a concern there is a few that have messed up air sacks shuold i be worried and the ones that have the messed up air sacks were shipped eggs shuold i be concerned?

Ok, I can keep it at the same temp then. I am just so worried! I doesn't go under 100 or over 102, so I should be good then. I was jsut so dissapointed when I didn't see more going on. I only saw movement in 3 out of 25! I am keeping my fingers crossed that I have more growth when I candle again. I don't open my incubator everyday either! I know it's so crazy, you would think that it would keep better temp than that!!!!
