Lock down and temp not over 95

Air sacs looked good when I candled when I put them in lock down. We'll see what happens. It's to late do anything about it now.

I just put my eggs in lock down and realized when I got to work that I'm a couple of days early..... What can I do?

By "lock down" I assume you mean you stopped turning them. If that's the case & it's too early just go back to turning them.
I've been hatching eggs for over 50 years & never heard the phrase "Lock Down" until I found this site. Hatching isn't as difficult as some people make it. I think many of the hatching problems people have come from overthinking & over handling.
Just as an experiment I set a clutch of Guinea Fowl eggs one time & I never added water to the incubator & never turned the eggs. Set 25 eggs & hatched 18 of tehm.

Amazing how us humans mess things up, lol. I am suppose to lock down today. You got to wonder who thought of doing that.
