I've been watching this thread too with much anticipation as I have 5 sebbie eggs in the incubator. Mine are on day 24, when should I put them in lock down? I could find nothing specific regarding sebbie eggs after doing numerous searches.

I have 3 pipped by this morning, 2 are mid zip and 1 isnt doing anything yet other than rocking.

I didn't put mine into lockdown until they had internally pipped.

All sounding very good, our oldest Dewlap eggs are now 24.5 days so technically should go into lockdown tomorrow. However I dont go into full lockdown (and raised humidity) until the eggs are Externally Pipped

Countrychix - my Dewlap Toulouse Diary has members with Sebbie eggs posting and I think you may find the info there useful.

The 'usual' that I've been hearing from breeders is Day 27, you stop turning the eggs and opening the incubator without need.

I can see 1 of my babies..it has yellow on the front of its beak and then dark. I can sort of see down into the shell and the baby looks dark too. I hope this will be a coloured baby because I dont want all white geese. This egg only pipped in the small hours of the morning between 3am and 4am when I was up watching the Green Mile. He/she is a feisty little thing.
