3rd grafting batch

Just checked on latest grafted queens and they have started 17 out of 21. I am using a Cloake Board. We had the top box jammed full of bees which is good but the cells are not drawn as much at 48 hours as the previous 2 batches (which we only grafted 10 cells). Are they slower drawing these because there are more of them? They were covered with bees when we pulled the frame to check and made it hard to get a good look at most of them. I was expecting the cells to be drawn out at least as much as the others. Any thoughts?
