I know everyone asks this question but I am getting super confused. I set my eggs on feb 19 at 8:30 pm When should I go into lockdown? Tomorrow? Thank you!
You put your chicks into the incubator on Sat the 19th at 8:30 PM. Your chicks are set to hatch 21 days later on Saturday March 12th at 8:30 pm. Subtract 3 days, and you should go into lockdown on Wednesday March 9th at 8:30 PM. Of course, they won't necessarily hatch exactly on that date and time, but thats the formula to use to figure lockdown. Good luck, mine go into lockdown tomorrow!
Thank you! I was using this http://homesteadapps.com/app/free/hatchchart/hatchturnsche.php which was making me confused by saying to go into lockdown tomorrow. Thanks for clearing that up. I will wait until wednesday
