I went into lockdown yesterday, too. 7 Buff Silkie eggs that I bought from a BYC member. Everything is looking great (temp & humidity). I'll be adding 8 BBS Silkie eggs to lockdown tonight.

Good luck to everyone and sending some good hatching vibes out to you all!

I put my 19 eggs in lock down yesterday evening. I saw one egg moving a little this morning and heard a faint peep. I hope they do OK. This is my first batch. I have heard so many bad stories I don't want to get my hopes up yet.

Same here! I've been trying to keep busy so I'm not a nervous wreck. As a matter of fact, I really ought to clean my floors...again!

Today is day 21 for me. I checked this morning and...nothing...all is quiet! is this normal? are they dead?
sorry first time here...wish there was sign that something will happen.

If you're temps average lower than 99.5 then the hatch is likely late. I've had a few go until day 23 and then still have a normal hatch.

I am not sure. Today is day 20 for me and I don't have anything yet. I saw a few rocking yesterday, today I think I saw one move.
Good luck to all!

Thanks! I will check the temperature again. I do not have a digital termometer, I am not sure of the precise temperature. All I know is that I candled the eggs last week and they were doing fine, moving and all.
keep my fingers crossed!!!
