What Day is Lockdown?

[lmdengler]

Just so I can be sure – can anyone tell me which DATE I should remove the eggs from the turner and “lock down” the incubator? We placed the eggs in the incubator at 5:00 am on 01/22/2018.

On 2/9 if your air cells are the right size.

@AlleysChicks is correct, but also depends on whether you count the day you set them as Day 1 or Day 0.
I use Day 0 as my set time. Reason being that the embyro isn't developing that fast until 24 hrs after setting. The egg has to reach incubation temp inside the core of the egg. This can take some time depending on the conditions of the incubator. Either way though, 2/9 is when you want to quit turning raise the humidity and put in lockdown.
