@BantyChooks do you remember if it was yesterday that I said I was going to candle? The lid apparently was not on 100%, and when the rotator arm was moving it knocked the lid off. The temperature was about 80° I am not too worried that damage was done, but if I candled the day before I will be worried!

Just placed 20 out of 25 eggs into lockdown.

My first run after then hens started laying good.
