Unforseen lockdown problems...what is going on????

The chick has to absorb the yolk and that could take anywhere form 2 to 12 hours. I know the waiting can make you crazy, been there on my first two hatches. Just relax. Another thing I found out is sometimes you can loose them to no fault of your own, you can do everything right and still loose some.

A crapbox without a doubt!!!! It is IMPOSSIBLE to regulate the temp and humidity in! I put 12 eggs in lockdown and hatched 5 of them. High maintenance does not begin to describe how much attention and constant adjustment required to hatch anything in an LG! I'm grateful for the 5 gorgeous silky babies from Catdance that I hatched but I'm OVER the LG and will never use it again. My new Brinsea was shipped today, thank goodness!
