Hatch day is almost upon you eggies, get those eggteeth ready!!

I've been wondering when I should do lockdown. Tomorrow night, only a few hours after entering day 18, or mid day Tuesday, when they'll be well into day 18?

You can lock down any day after day 15 however I wouldn't lock down any day after day 18 just in case you have an early bird.

Honestly, can't blame them! I've been sitting in front of Electric Lady all weekend! Imagine how ready they are to come out, after being crammed into that egg for so many days!

It’s like that time we went on a cruise and didn’t splurge for the upgraded room. Like living in a furnished closet

Yeah, once they become conscious, there has got to be some stress or pressure to want out of their shell.
