Lockdown?

[thudson]

I am new to incubating eggs and I got two crazy questions.
1. Lockdown--- Is this the term used when you stop turning the eggs at day 18?
2. Will the chick be different if the rooster is a different breed than the hen?
I hope these questions make since!

I can confirm that lockdown is the term used for when you stop turning the eggs, I believe that is when the chicks get into position to hatch.

Not really sure about second question but I would say yes, the chick will probably end up with a mix of genes.
