In need of hatch help

[Wolrep]

A few weeks ago I posted a story about some eggs I received from a friend that came from a wild mother that got killed. She was sitting on the eggs already so there was already development in the egg. I candled the eggs yesterday and they are all dark with a little light passing through on the bottom. My question is it time to move the eggs from the moving rack to the hatch tray or how much longer should I wait? What do you suggest? The eggs are in a sportsman 1502 ATM.

The light spot that you can see through should be the top of the egg. Late in their incubation it is normal that you can't really see anything but the air cell. The rest will be quite dark.

But since you don't know how far along the eggs are what I would do is to leave them in the turner, but check twice a day to see if any have begun to pip. When you see the first pips then you know it's time to pull the turner.

My bad I ment top. I'll keep checking in the morning and when I get home.
