too early for lock down?

[featheredplanets]

I have several eggs in my incubator that need to go into lockdown tomorrow (Monday) and a few on Tuesday. Can I put them into lockdown tonight? I’m worried about one of my lmn Pekin chicks as the air cell is at the wrong end and I want to get the egg positioned pointy end up ASAP to increase the chance of it pipping right. I just don’t want to screw it up.

Yes, you can go to lockdown now. Studies have shown that turning the eggs during the last week of incubation is not as critical as turning the eggs during the first week of incubation.
