Large diagonal air cell and no movement day 18

Sounds like it's not too far off then, if at all! That's very good.

Shipped eggs are what they are, you can do everything perfectly and still have a bad hatch... The ones I set last fall, one batch of eggs I hatched 6/8, the other only 2/12 hatched. And I'd had perfect hatches earlier in the season with local eggs.

that forehead thermometer won't be any good.

I’m in the same boat as you. Except I started with 24 & currently at day 17 only have 4 left. All of which were the hard eggs to see into before they were incubated. Over half the batch were infertile it seemed. Needless to say I’m also not feeling to hopeful.

I’m candling again tomorrow night when they go into lockdown. Hopefully I see movement..

I would not be overly concerned about lack of movement. I would keep cooking them and if the temps are slightly cool, a long hatch should be expected.
