Day counting when hatching eggs

[HATCHERMAN11]

Hello! I'm doing my first hatch on some chick eggs. When I candled them a few days ago 4 of 6 eggs were fertile! So here's my question. I putted the eggs in the incubator on may 12 morning. Today it is may 30. Is it lockdown today or tomorrow? How do you count the days for hatching. (This is my first post here and I am new to hatching)

So to figure the hatch date, take the day you set the eggs, and then add 21 to it. So that makes the hatch date June second. Which makes today day 18, which is when you go into lockdown and stop turning

That would be 18 days. You can put them in lockdown tomorrow.
I count the first day that I set them as day 0, after 24 hours in the bator that becomes day 1.

Thanks for a fast and good answer

Hello! I have another question. Now I have went into lockdown. And my humidity won't rise higher than 55-60%. Is this a problem or can they hatch with this humidity. / A newbie hatcher

They will hatch just fine at that % RH. I just had some pheasants hatch out this morning 2:33am, at 53% RH. Have more pipped and hatching now at 5:30am, RH went up 1% so now at 54% and doing just fine.

Thank you! I was a bit worried that they wouldn't be able to hatch

So we got 3 Happy chicks out of 6 eggs. And does anyone know what kind of breed they are? They are 6 days old and have started to develop small feathers.
