We are incubating our first set of chicken eggs. We are on day 18 of our first set of eggs and have stopped turning them. While googling tonight I read that when the eggs are ready to hatch they are in something called lockdown. What I am wondering is we have another set of eggs in the incubator with them that are 5 days behind them. Can I still open the incubator to turn them or what should do. We didn't realize that we shouldn't mix hatch times. Please advise us what to do.
