Setting Eggs 4/17! Who's With Me?

[mrbstephens]

I'm getting ready for lockdown tomorrow. I set the eggs at 2:30 in the afternoon. Could I start lockdown in the morning tomorrow or do I have to wait till 2:30? I'd like to get it over with before celebrating mother's day.

All my eggs have pips in them but they been like that almost all day. When do I start to worry?

I've started lockdown a day early due to my work schedule..it won't hurt anything! You don't have to wait for the exact time, it isn't that critical

End of day 22 here, and we just had our 1st one hatch!!!

We only have one other with a pip. Praying they all start going nuts tonight. There were 19 good ones in there on lockdown, so I'm really puzzled on this hatch. Temp and humidity have been as close to perfect as possible! Hoping for at least a few more to make it to keep our first company!!!!
