It's day 19 for me but I'm not in lockdown just yet. I still have some heavy eggs and I am waiting for an internal pip to enter lockdown. I have to candle morning and night to look for internal pips! I think they might take their sweet time though because I think the temp was a bit low and the eggs don't look black when I candled them last night.

They eggs I have in lock down I can still get a little bit of light to shine through around the air sack and a TINY bit at the very tip of the egg but their beaks are lining up for the air sack and I seen some tiny feet a kickin this morning! It's just so amazing! I had a littlte bit of rockin yesterday but not much today. :/ I'm just impaitent I suppose!! Haha.

That's amazing! What kind of candler do you use? I use a flashlight and a toilet paper roll.
