Ok I go into lockdown tomorrow night at 8pm. I candled my eggs tonight. Looks like the pictures on the candling eggs. But I did not see anything moving. Is this normal? I did not look for long cause I did not want them to get to cold. Thanks

I usually leave them in the bator for a few hours,then put them under a nice cozy lamp to finish off.

I've heard its normal to not see any movement because they are so cramped in there. I couldn't see anything period in mine....should have candled last night, but didn't think about it. Went into lockdown this afternoon, and am so nervous!!!!

My Blue Andalusian chick hatched around 6:00 this evening! It's Blue with an Orange Muff!

Me too. For one incubator holding 16 eggs. Eggs are all really dark-shelled, so it's kind of a "let's just see what hatches" without candling first. I did candle on day 10 or 12 and stopped when I was able to see development in an egg. SOMETHING is/was growing, that was good enough for me!
