Lockdown is when you raise your humidity on day 18 to 21 to allow the chicks to hatch out and not get stuck in the egg..(which is called shrink wrap). If you go to the incubating thread and read posts you will gather a lot from the questions and answersAnd you dont open it as it could shrink wrap them why its called LOCKDOWNThis is probably a dumb question, but what is lockdown? I'm trying to cover everything because my neighbor tried incubating eggs and most of hers hatched without legs. I need to know everything I can so that doesn't happen.
You also stop turning the eggs during lockdown. If you have an automatic turner, turn it off & remove the eggs from it. Lay eggs on their sides or pointy end down in catrons with the bottom cut out.Lockdown is when you raise your humidity on day 18 to 21 to allow the chicks to hatch out and not get stuck in the egg..(which is called shrink wrap).
