Tomorrow is Day 17 of my first ever hatch... I know lock down is Day 18, but is it beginning of the day, or end of day? Do I turn the eggs that day, or no? Thanks!

You lock down on the end of day 18, beginning of 19. You turn the eggs normally on Day18.

OMG il be back in a min going to lQQK

THANK YOU !!

Just remember only fast feathering birds can be sexed this way. When I found out about this way of sexing I was so excited. Then I started doing research and found out only certain breeds can be feather sexed. There is a video on You Tube that shows it better than this picture but for the life of me I can't find it.

Found another picture of feather sexing:


The pullets have those little tufts of feathers on the ends of the feather shaft.

4 days is normally the best day to do the feather test?
