What day are you on Red? You can go ahead and lock down. It won't hurt if you stop turning a bit early. I don't worry about increasing my humidity until I get pips. Are the eggs chirping yet?

day 17/18. Eggs aren't chipping but 2 of them are jumping around. At first I thought it was me but my wife and kids saw it 2.

Okay, I put 33 James Marie Jumbo Pharaoh Coturnix and 37 Jumbo Texas A&M White Quail in lock down at 6PM on Saturday. It is time to start pipping now but nothing is happening. I hate waiting........

dont fret it

i usually put eggs in lockdown and forget them... Litrally

i just do what i do that day and leave it be

if i get piping i may stop and watch but i have managed to train myself now to walk away and do what i was doing

you eggs will hatch and good luck the more you watch it the slower timne will pass

Hi Big Red

LF = Large Fowl (as in not the RIR bantam)
