Help please! Incubating eggs.

[mcc1992]

I'm on day 16/17 of incubation for my chicken eggs. I haven't candled them in a week, but I did today and there is absolutely no movement...is this normal? The chicks are there and growing..but I see no movement

How bright the light is and if your candling in dark will vary greatly on what can be seen. I rarely see movement but can feel it when the egg is in my hand day 17/18 final candle. If they are growing still then rest assure they are still alive.

You do not always see movement. Good luck with your hatch!
