Chickens ain't as dumb as we give 'em credit for.
Went out today to check for eggs the 2nd time, before they had a chance to freeze, and found all 6 of mine up close to the concrete foundation (8' high on that end), enjoying the little bit of heat bouncing off the south end of the house.

Might want to remember that spot... in case you ever get locked out of the house... I mean... stuck outside.

I think it's easiest to go ahead and lock them down after candling on day 18, as it's one less time to have to fiddle with them. If you're going 21-22 days, you might be running a little low on your temp. An additional .5F can easily bump them up a day earlier. Just something to consider...

Thanks!!! I will bump up the temp .5 degrees and see what happens. I have been locking them down in a still air incubator at about the 100 to 101 range cuz it scares me to see 102 for the temps. I do have a fan I am planning to install - maybe I'll install that before I lock them down.....
