Went into lockdown, candled eggs large air sacks, no movement.

I sure hope I didn't kill all these chicks, with my first hatch I was a nut, checking, turning, checking, watching it was almost a full time job. This time I have been much more laid back and now I am worried. I candled today before lockdown, 3 obvious clears. The rest had large air sacks, obvious growth but no movement. I might just be paranoid, but shouldn't I have seen SOME movement? They were all just very dark. Guess only time will tell.

somtimes the eggs get so full its hard to see movement. I'd say they are probably fine.

The air sac will actually get smaller during the final 3 days. The chick has filled to egg so that you may not be able to see any movement at all.

Breath, sit back, wait for pips.

I rarely see movement at lockdown.

Good luck with your hatch.
