Lockdown will be the 26th. I know I know, a day early? Im doin that bc @Compost King locks down a day or so early and he usually has pretty good hatches, so im gonna try that method with this hatch.

I barely clear 50% success, although i doubt its the early lock downs that cause it, but I do have to say I am not the most successful hatcher. I make up for it by starting out with a lot of eggs.Lockdown will be the 26th. I know I know, a day early?

It comes in handy if you have early hatchers which I did recently, I went into lock down a day early just because I was worried I might forget... and in less than 24 hours I had pips. every hatch since I have gone into lock down a day earlier than the last. I am not sure when the earliest you can go into lock down without problems I believe @Matieus27 told us last winter when the earliest you can go into lock down and since he is back in the hatch a longs I thought I would give him a shout and maybe he will let us know.Ok, well I still want to try this method nonetheless.![]()
Oops I totally forgot about the September hatch a long! Catching up today, but Im like 30 pages back.
My delawares are LOST! The first time Ive spent so much money on chicks from a great breeder, and, UGH. They should've been here this AM, they have never been scanned anywhere along the way, the only person you can speak to says they put them on the truck, and, that's where we are. :-\
My local people insist that this hub will hand deliver anything late to their branch, and, since that hasn't happened today, they won't be here. :-\ No one knows where they are. How hard is it to keep track of 25 screaming babies????

----- actually he said the point where you do not need to turn eggs anymore if I recall correctly, not the earliest you can go into lock down. Lock Down also involves air cell size and other issues.
I can't remember exactly either, I was curious as to when we can stop turning the eggs and they will still develop. I can go through the old hatch threads and find it when I have time. But if anyone else knows please share.@Compost King That’s been awhile back I don’t think I remember what I said
