Honestly, I don't think it'll make a difference one way or the other. The days are counted at 1 day after 24 hours from what I understand. But if you stop turning at day 18 or 19, well they should still be able to get in position.

Liv, I think a lot of people needlessly obsess over the lockdown point. Regardless of whether or not you strictly observe the lockdown point for chicken hatching eggs, which is day 18, some chicks will hatch early, and some will hatch late. Don't get me wrong; lockdown is important, but it's more of a fuzzy time frame than a super-strict point in time. If it were me, I would stick with the Brinsea defaults. Then again, someone with a Brinsea Maxi II may know something I don't know about the unit.

Sorry you had a twit encounter at BYC. It seems that every online community has several of those.

Thanks, y'all. I think I'm mostly concerned that the Brinsea clock was saying 5 days when there is no actual way that there are 5 days left on this hatch. I emailed them and think they should address it at a minimum. They've been really good with questions in the past. I just candled and with the exception of 2 that I have a gut level question mark in my mind about, they look good. I have put in the hatching mat & filled the water wells. I stopped the turning because if I stick to the defaults, turning wouldn't stop until Tuesday. So, now I guess it's just sit still and cross fingers and toes. Thanks again!

Not having to worry about lock down was SO worth the cost of the incubator I bought for GAM. I would not want to live with her everytime that moment came... not that I really want to live with her anyway but I digress.

LOL I though the cost of the incubator I bought included the worry free lockdown. Something with this fancy gizmo ain't working right.

So...since I just got a pretty sarcastic/flippant response from someone on the alleged helpful hatching/incubating thread, I thought I'd put the question to my GA peeps:

[COLOR=333333]I'm on day 18 here and have a quick question that is melting my brain. I'm using a Brinsea Maxi II and the paperwork it comes with says that the default settings for chicken eggs have it stopping turning 2 days before hatch. To me, that seems like a lockdown at day 19. We had a power failure last hatch and the settings had gotten messed up, so I ended up manually configuring it for the hatch. [/COLOR][COLOR=333333]
[/COLOR][COLOR=333333]
[/COLOR][COLOR=333333]In y'all's opinion, should I stop the turn since it's legitimately day 18 here as of one hour ago, or let the Brinsea settings ride? [/COLOR]

To me, it's a situation where the more I study the calendar and count the hours, the more confused I get. It was the beginning of Day 18 (like, hour 1) at about 9 am here. Would y'all stop turning as of this moment or what? I've emailed Brinsea because the machine is still saying there are 5 days left when it's Day 18. I feel like I'm at a drop back and punt moment!

That's why I only use this forum with the GA peeps only. My nasty side can't deal with that!
