Hi,
So I am on day 14 of incubation currently so not long left now it's my first time incubating silkies so I am full of questions haha.
I have Silkie's and and White Sussex in the incubator and I am confused as to when lockdown will be.
I originally thought lockdown was day 18, however I have read up about it I have seen a lot of people saying day 16 mostly for Silkie's and bantams.
My question is what day will be best to go into lockdown?
I also have read that putting shelf liner under the eggs during lock down will prevent them from slipping and getting crooked legs when hatched, does anyone know if this will be safe or have any experience using it?
Many thanks hope someone can help
