Thanks! I candled all of them this morning, and all still have good veins and this time I saw all with good movement inside the eggs.

Development...

I set the clutch up in a tub with cling wrap beneath the kid to seal in humidity.
The Herpstat Pro probe was hanging just above the sealed tub and was set at 88.3. A temp gun showed the eggs surface temp at 88.8. This was during the first couple weeks of incubation.

When I candled them the other day it looked as if they weren't taking up much space in the eggs, but it's incredibly hard for me to tell what's what.

Today when I candled them I heat gunned the egg surfaces. 84.5.

So I'm a bit concerned about their well being.
The herpstat probe is now IN the tub and reading 89.2. Maybe my heat gun is wrong???

Not sure what to do.
