What time did you put them in, was it morning? If so then I guess tonight would be your last turn as Lockdown would technically start tomorrow morning, but I guess you could do 1 last turn in the morning, then lcokdown.

Hey all, it's Day 17 (Hatch Day is Thurs!) and I candled the 4 silkie eggs last night. 3 of the 4 are totally dark, except for the air space, which seems to be the appropriate size; I'm afraid one died along the way. I didn't see any movement in the "live" eggs (I hope) and hoping it's because they've filled up the egg. I think Daisy and Lily have been doing a great job sitting on the hatching eggs. I just had to share this pic. The look so SERIOUS!
