Lock down too soon?

[jhook1997]

I read wrong about how to count my incubator days. I counted the first 24 hour period as day 1 so I have put this batch in lockdown on day 17 instead of day 18.

Any thoughts? How bad did I mess up? Humidity and temp have been just right but it's now day 20 (2 1/2 days in lockdown) and the is no sight or sound of pipping? Should I be worried?

As long as you kept the humidity low during the first 17 - 18 days, you should be fine. If your thermometer was reading a bit low, it may take them an extra day or 2 to hatch. Be patient, and happy hatching.

Being patient is the hard part. Humidity was good for those days and now keeping it around 65%. No pipping yet but good to hear I didn't mess up too bad.
