Lockdown!

Day 18 of egg incubation= lockdown. No one goes in or out until the eggs hatch in 3 to 5 days. 

We took the egg turner out on Thursday and jacked up the humidity. Hopefully we get a good hatch rate! The first day they are due to hatch is today. Just like people, the due date is just an estimate. Some chicks could take a little bit longer, so we'll keep the incubator going for at least 5 days past their due date. After that point the remaining unhatched eggs are considered duds.

Note- the humidity is so low on the hygrometer because we had the top off to take out the turner. It's now in the 60% range.
