Did anyone else set eggs on or near 10/16/09?

Out of 10 eggs on pullets that had only been laying a few weeks, I'm very happy with 6

I have picked up eggs before and didn't have good luck at all. This was my first batch of shipped eggs, so no luck yet, but I'm sure I will. I picked up 11 Serama eggs Saturday too and set them last night...So excited!
 
It's official .... I'm on lockdown. I set my eggs (Delawares from Speckledhen) at 0100 on Oct 16. Today is lockdown (day 18). I hope to have a bunch of fluffy butts soon! 26 in the bator, but 2 I think are quitters.
 
Ok, now I am confused. I put mine in at 5pm Oct 16....should I put mine on lockdown too? I wasn't going to do it until Wed.

Also, I had a temp dip/humidity spike today, things were fine this am 65% humidity 100.00 temp....got home from work 70% humidity 95.8....I hope they are ok.
 
I just counted again, today is day 17...so tonight instead of turning them I am going to go ahead and put on lockdown since quail are due tomorrow or Wed and I have to work so early.
 
I am trying to figure out when I should go on lockdown too... I set mine at 8 pm on 10-16 but had a temp dip (95 degrees) when I set. I didn't get it back up to 99.5 until 10-17. So does lockdown occur Tuesday or do I wait until Wednesday?
 
So, since I recounted the quail are due today or tomorrow. Still not even a peep out of them.

Karrie-looks like someone posted a thread and they are saying that a day either way doesn't matter too much.
