That means I put them in "lockdown" To early which means I took them out of the turner early

Are they gonna be okay? Please somone set my worried, sick mind at ease.
 
I did the same thing, if you get a response let me know. I'm on day 3 of lockdown, mine are due to hatch tomorrow and put them in lockdown 18 hours to soon, I have see some movements in 3 out of 11 eggs, but nothing as cracked opened yet.
 
I've put eggs into lockdown a full day early and I had a good hatch. Apparently it's not that critical so late in the incubation process.

have you candled, if the shell is full of chick, you can stop your turner, you can stop as early as day 14, but if your keeps going even after hatch starts its OK to, the reason for stopping is in most small turners if you don't stop it your babies can get stuck in the turner and get killed. its not a thing to worry about, happy hatching ( I've had a full batch hatch while the turner was still going, great hatch too)
