I just hatched out 19 Sunday and Monday. Bantam Cochins.

My seven are going into lockdown tomorrow. Here is my question though, I set these eggs in the incubator @ 9:30 am. I have to work tomorrow. Should I go ahead and do the lockdown in the morning before I leave for work, or should I wait until I get home about 5:15 pm? This is my first hatch and I have 7 eggs left of the original 8. I have had some temperature regulation problems ranging from 94 degrees to 105 degrees for about an hour last night. Frusterating! I can see movement in 2 of the eggs that are light enough for me to still kind of see through. Hopefully that is a good indicator for the rest. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Also, all of my eggs were laid on the same day. Hopefully they will all see fit to hatch on the same day. I was hoping to time it to where I would be home for it.

Hello everyone. I will be getting in almost 50 eggs tomorrow. I am really nervous. Didn't plan on that many eggs silly me got carried away on bids. Opps. I've got the incubators hooked up today and trying to work this temp! But hopefully I will have a decent hatch rate.

Ok well I was supposed to lockdown my first set of chick eggs (16) at 6 pm tonight. I waiting till the coturnix were fuzzy and then cleaned the bator out. NOW the bator is too high in humidity to put the chick eggs in lockdown. Its at 71%. Isn't this to high to have on day 19 in lockdown? Also, I have a peeper already!! I'm worried it wil hatch early and not have enough moisture but isn't 71% gonna be too much? Help please!

That's where you want it to be at lockdown.
