Incubating ginny's for first time need advice

Same temp and humidity for incubation (99.5° F for circulated air incubators with fans, around 101.5-102° F for still air incubators), but keets take 26-28 days to hatch, not 21 days like chicks. Lock-down is typically on day 25, but sometimes keets hatch early, so it's a good idea to candle them on day 23/24 to see if the air cells are really slanted and or if the keets are already internally or externally pipping. (If so, then obviously lock-down earlier than day 25). The higher the humidity the better for lock-down/hatch (75% works great for my hatches).

ETA: The eggs should be turned a minimum of 3X a day up until lock-down time (or use an automatic egg turner until lock-down time, then remove it).
