Chickens is day 18, technically... I stop turning mine then, but a lot of times I wait to up the humidity til first pip... depends on my air cells...So "lockdown" on the 18th day or the 19th? I can't remember and I'm easily confused.I know that I turn off the egg turner, take it out, lay the eggs on their sides, paying attention to having the air cells up, increase the humidity and then wait and pray. But doggone it, do I do that tomorrow or Sunday?
I do the same as Ravyn. Lately I stop turning on day 18, but don't up the humidity until day 19 or 20 - all depends on air cells. Any iffy eggs I leave fat end up in the rails or in a cut-down egg carton.
Plan on take-out and frozen pizzas the next few days...
You won't shrink wrap an unpipped egg ( unless your humidity has been next to nothing the entire incubation) and there is very little chance you'll shrink wrap a pipped egg if you hae decent humidity.
Thank you! Egg turner out tomorrow, humidity up after the first pip. Um, one last question? How many cold dinners and warm sodas should I plan on consuming while I watch the incubator?
