Hi all!
So I hatched out 11 eggs from 14 in my Brinsea maxi II advance. However when I was reading through the instructions on the incubator and watching the Brinsea videos on YouTube they say to go into lockdown 2 days before hatching. I’ve always believed it was 3 days before (so lockdown on day 18) which is what I did. The chicks all seemed to hatch on day 20 apart from one who hatched on day 21. I know 21 days is an approximate time for hatching but what is the correct lockdown day? I’ve only ever seen it to be 3 days before lockdown and how much of a difference can 1 day make?
Many thanks.
