What time should I lock down?

[crazyforchicks]

I put my eggs in on the 23rd of dec so this sets me at today for lock down, I have no idea what time of day I put them in there what time should I lock down and does the time really matter?

I lock down mine around the time that I put them in the incubator..for instance.. if I set the eggs around 6:00 pm.. I lock them down around 6:00 pm on day 18.. I don't think there is any big deal if you don't follow my example.. it is just what works for me.
