Locking down a day early... =\

[kkattt]

So I have no other choice but to lock down a day early. The eggs were put in the incubator May 1st... 630 am... And will be locked down today at noon. I am a little concerned. I have a Brinsea Advanced... Fill water pots as necessary... Weigh my eggs... ( which is my 2nd concern) weight loss has only been about 10% since day 2... Forgot to initially weigh them! I'm just hoping things go well.

Any suggestions or thoughts??

You arent locking down a day early, you are supposed to lock down on the 18th day and today is the 18th day. I bet you already know this but your humidity is supposed to be 65%-70%. You have a brooder ready right? Ayway i dont have any more suggestions or thoughts!

Yeah thats when the eggs were set. So a full day of incubation would have been on the 2nd.
