I'm officially in lockdown as of 2.5 hours ago, oh my. and I didn't candle anything. will be a surprise or shock for sure.

Should the eggs feel lighter or heavy ?

I had a bit of a conundrem (sp.) when I went to take eggs out of the turner and to take the turner out.......not enough hands !!!
But, eventually got it figured. Temp is back up almost to where it should be, humidity is at 62%

This will be interesting.

I am trying to follow this guide, https://www.backyardchickens.com/LC-DryIncubation.html and to quote-
"An egg must lose approximately 11% to 14% of its weight during the incubation cycle."

I am going to weigh a couple before lockdown.

good luck everyone.

Eggs went into lockdown tonight. Out of the 22 that were growing up until this point, 22 went into lockdown lol I can honestly say I've never had the problem of "how am I got to get all these eggs to fit in here without the racks?" lol this is a brinsea octagon 20 Eco were talking about lol it's gonna be super cramped when they start hatching!

I have one mutt egg that is suppose to hatch the 1st of April. It was the only egg I had left from a hen and roo that were killed by a stray. Chick is moving in egg so I am happy right now! Probably will hatch a day early just because most of mine do.
