What do you mean by lockdown?

Lockdown is the last few days of incubation where you don't turn and no patty fingers looking at the eggs lol

What do you mean by lockdown?

"Lockdown" is the last 3 days of incubation, where the humidity is raised to 65-75%, egg turning is stopped and the incubator isn't opened until the hatch is over (unless one needs assisting). If the incubator is opened, the humidity levels will drop, and the ducklings can get shrink rapped (the membrane suffocates them).
