When is Lockdown?

Hey Y'all,

I set my first quail eggs the evening of 13 April. When do I put these eggs on lockdown? I have heard 2 days or 3 days. My EggHatcher app says tomorrow, 27 April, but I just wanted to make sure since I heard they can hatch anywhere between 16 and 18 days.

You can stop turning them on day 12 if you wanted.
If you're talking about raising your humidity don't raise it until you see an external pip.
