Okay so I had a slight miscalculation on my lockdown day. I put my eggs in on the 9th at around midnight and put them into lockdown on the 25th at 60-64% humidity they wiggled around a lot for the last couple of days and today no movement. My question is will turning the eggs today on day 18 benefit me any or should I continue to leave them in lockdown and cross my fingers?
 
Okay so I decided to open the incubator as I've not seen any pipping. 6 of them feel good but I saw no movement when I went to candle them but of the ones I think will make it they have normal air cells for day 18. I refilled the reservoirs and added a couple of wet paper towels to up the humidity a little bit. So I guess wish me luck! I'll make updates as they come.

I think you will be fine, regardless of turning or not turning on Day 18. My hen didn't do a lockdown, and she hatched 3 for 3. Good luck with the hatch!
