Lock Down Question - Japanese Bantams

[Jubbilee555]

Hi,

I just got an ID, from one of you lovely people, of the chicken eggs I'm in the process of incubating (first timer here!). I have Japanese Bantams.

What day should I locked down the incubator? I am on day 13. I was planning on locking down at day 18 as I read is typical but I have also read in a couple of places that some Bantam breeds need to be locked down earlier- is this true of Japanese bantys?

Any other recommendations that may differ from the usual as far as temperature or humidity goes once I lockdown?

Any recommendations would be great! Thank you

Did your eggs hatch yet?

Yes I locked down on day 17.5 and 2 out of 3 hatched on day 19.5. It's been a little over 24hrs since the first two hatched so I'm hoping the 3rd will follow soon!
