Locked Down a Day Early... Ooops???

[Cherlyn]

Not sure why on earth I was thinking that lockdown starts after 17 days, but I did it. I locked my 11 light sussex eggs down at the end of day 17. Any thoughts as to whether this will hurt my hatch rate significantly?

It shouldn't make a difference.

I wouldn't have thought so. Maybe the embryo is active enough to be able to prevent sticking to the membrane

Methinks you all are right. So now I will just sit back and wait for the beebees.

No worries!! They'll be fine!

Good luck with your hatch

I've had early enough chicks sometimes that I do that on purpose.
