I am in lockdown with my second batch of chickies as of thirty minutes ago! Expecting 11more chicks! WOO!!
I also go into lockdown on thursday for my very first duck eggs! Sooo exciting.

Good luck to everyone out there! And remember, patience is a virtue.

I just locked down 10 of Katy's BLRW eggs, I am sooo excited, I feel like it's my first hatch all over again. I have been wanting these eggs for a while, I can't believe I will have babies by the end of this week!

I use 65% for lock down, it will go crazy once they start hatching.

It's days 18 and beyond of incubation (If incubating chicken eggs) it's when you raise the humidity, stop turning the eggs, and you can no longer open the incubator until the hatch is done.
