My eggs are ROCKING....

[begbfg]

...and I'm not in lockdown until 8 tonight. Do I lockdown early or wait until the set time?

My understanding is when the eggs rock, the chick is getting into hatch position. If it were me, I prolly would. Someone more experienced might say no though. Good luck

Definitely lock down now

They're getting ready for hatch!
Good luck!

Thank you, Jewels! I was thinking the same thing about them getting into "position". They all have huge air cells and that's all I can see when candling. Soooo excited I can barely contain myself or leave the bator!

You're welcome! I know the feeling!! My broody has been with us in our livingroom, and bedroom for 21 days now, she's prolly sick of seeing us

I know one thing..a broody poop is horrid,

and takes forever to leave the surrounding area

Should I check for internal pips or leave well enough alone?

 

[Ukiah]

You should wait

If they're positioning themselves for hatch, handling them will disturb
the positioning. Hope you have some fuzzy butts soon! Keep us updated to
