Lockdown the 18th

[hlf1996]

I have 22 silkie eggs going into lockdown on the 18th. Tomorrow the 17th I still turn the eggs 3 times, right? And then on the 18th I dont touch them? This is my first time incubating and the lockdown part kind of confuses me.

I'm new so if I'm wrong someone can tell me as well. Tomorrow the 17th is my 18th day of incubation and is the day I'm planning on lockdown. What day are you expecting for hatch day? Mine is the Wed. the 20th.

Turn the eggs on the 17th day, & on the 18th day if you have a truner take it out & dont turn them any more, be sure your humidity is up around 65- 75 % durining the last 3 days (18-21).
