when should I see movement?

[russ_t]

Candled my eggs today. I don't see any movement, of the dark spots unless I move the egg. These eggs are 12 days in the incubator, but I had a power loss at day 9.

I didn't see any movement before the power loss either though. I looked at the candling examples at they show much more movement.

What is "normal"?

Thanks

We saw wiggling inside while candling at about 7 or 8 days. BUT.. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M doing

I saw wiggling at day 7. As the chick fills the egg, it's harder to see wiggles. It's day 11 for me and I managed to see wiggles by holding the egg very still. You should see the dark edges about halfway down making slight waves. Of course the darker the egg....

No harm in giving them some more time. Sometimes the little embryos have little movement. I've had some that I thought were goners hatch.
