will going into lockdown 1 day early harm the chicks?

[spish]

i messed up my dates and put my eggs in the 'bator a day earlier than i should of. i go out of town for 2 days tomorrow and *thought my eggs would be going into lockdown tomorrow morning, just recounted the days...they should go into lockdown sunday morning

((( big mistake.
there will be no one here to turn off the turner......



so i was wondering can i turn off the turner 24 hours earlier......or is it going to cause problems for the chicks?

Nope- did this two hatches ago and the did fine. I only had two eggs but they both hatched out beautifully. It was about day 21 when I realized I put them in lockdown on the wrong day.

I agree. No problem at all. I've had to do this before and my hatch went just fine.

I have mixed up dates before, locking the bator down a day early, and once two days late (discovering a pip as I started to candle the eggs...).

They'll be fine.
