sure sure we all now you are just trying to increase your odds of winning the random post contest

You also don't want to turn or mess with eggs during lockdown because you want to keep the humidity in the incubator high.

oh! didn't know there was a random post thing.....

so does the bator instantly lock up or do we take all of the eggs out of the turner two days before hatch and l the eggs sit on the bottom?

im new to incubating...I always had a broody momma do it for me! haah

lol, I was being sarcastic.

I don't know anything about your incubator but i imagine you take them out of the turner a put them on the bottom. I am sure someone else can clarify.

I have a pro series circulated air incubator model 4200 in case anyone else has one too...






Also, do you clean your eggs before incubating? if so, with what?

Oh so much fun here!

at day 18, you take the eggs out of the turner, fill all of the channels with water to get humidity to 70% and set the egg back for hatching.

I use either egg cartons or a plastic hatching tray.

We will have lots of fun posting about the hatching process, which on BYC we call Lock Down when we get close to Day 18.

For now, read the hatching 101 tips located in my siggy.

also, when the rules say to
"At noon on December 11, 2013 (local time), people all over the world will be setting eggs with the goal to hatch out hundreds of cute little fuzz-butts "
what exactly is "local" time....I don't want to mess up my egg time!!!

Local is your local time#

Oh man! Hoping this freeze is gone by next week, when my eggs are coming. I am getting some from a couple of different people. It's cold. It was 1 degree this morning.
