Ok, I keep reading that on day 18 to lock down chicken eggs. Here's the question, do you count the lay day as day 1?
Example 1
L
L O
A C
Y K
Day 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21
Example 2
L
L O
A C
Y K
Day N/A 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21
Note the difference between example 1 and example 2 is that the day the chicken lays either IS or IS NOT counted.
Every chicken book states to lock down on Day 18, whatever that means. LOL
If a chicken laid an egg at 1pm in Example 1 it would be on Day 1
If a chicken laid an egg at 1pm in Example 2, it would be Day 1 approx 24 hours from lay (let's just say)
Help!
