I have some shipped eggs in the incubator right now. Most are Serama and a couple are Silkie.
I am used to incubating standard chicken eggs. I do not have experience with hatching these bantam breeds, so I am hoping to find out from someone who does. The eggs are in a Nurture Right 360 incubator so they are being rolled by the turner instead of tilted if that matters.
I am reading conflicting information about when I should put them into lockdown.
They are on day 15 right now. I have read that the bantam breeds will sometimes hatch out a little early. Depending on the source, I have read that they should go into lockdown anywhere from day 15-18.
When is the best time to actually put these eggs on lockdown?
