    Day 15 Eggs Wiggling

    I’m not new to hatching but this is a first for me. Using a Brinsea Maxi II Automatic. Temp and humidity show proper (99.5° and 45% humidity). My concern is today is day 16 and eggs are wiggling! Lockdown isn’t until Monday morning so I’m wondering if I should lockdown sooner for early hatch.
