Hi all, am hatching duck eggs in my classroom again but just been looking at the calendar, I put eggs in on the morning of the 5th june and started counting 28 days from then, estimating hatch day to be 2nd July with day 25 being Saturday 28th June but as my incy is in my classroom was going to put them into lockdown as late as poss on the fri before I left school...
...just checked calendar again and if I count the morning of 6th June as day one (24 hours) then day 28 is more like weds 3rd july/hatch day which makes day 25 the Sunday and it being at school means I'm not there to start lockdown - so I guess what I'm asking is would it be ok to start lockdown first thing Monday which is morning of day 26 or would I count day one as the whole of that first weds i put them in and day 28 is in fact tues after all so lock them down on the Friday evening...sorry if that's confusing, basically is more lockdown better than less??
If I lockdown fri evening then if day 28 is weds they'll have nearly five days lockdown and I'm not in to monitor
