Monday is day 17. Do I do Lock Down end up day 17, beginning of day 18 or end of day 18? Last hatch I had an early hatcher. Piped day 19 and hatched 4am day 20. I set the eggs I set the midnight, night of the 11th. So day one was technically the 13th. So would I start lockdown Monday or Tuesday...

Thought i would post pictures of my homemade incubator made from a cooler from walmart. I've seen pictures of other with the light on the side but I've found with it on the lid the temperature is more consistent through the incubator. When I had it on the side the temp would be too high on the...
