Probably a dumb question but, can you help

I have some eggs in the incubator. I know I go into lockdown on day 18. Does that mean that is the last day I turn the eggs or day 17 is actually the last day I turn the eggs? Thanks so much for the help.

the eggs should be turned on day 18 and the lock dawn starts at the end of that day. no turning 19, 20, 21. I am pretty sure this is how it goes. hope some one with a little more knowledge answers i'm coming up on day 18 too!!

Yup. you turn them for 18 days, and lockdown at the end of day 18. The easiest way to tell is just count backwards from day 21 three days, 21,20,19 thats the last three, all other days turn the eggs as normal.Good luck!

Thanks for asking this question. I'm at the end of day 15 and was wondering when my lockdown should take place. Thanks for all the helpful replies too.

Yes, you turn them on day 18, but do not turn them after that.
