When to lockdown?

[KTpekin]

Ive got 6 eggs due to hatch 26/27th April. They were set in the incubator on 5th April at 4pm.
So when should the incubator be locked-down? I was thinking tomorrow (Monday 23rd) in the evening as that would
be day 18ish.
Thanks

what do you mean 'lockdown' 09

what do you mean 'lockdown' 09

They mean turn off the automatic rocker (or stop turning the eggs), raise the humidity and do not open the lid of the incubator. It's almost like a 'lockdown' because it's sooo tempting to keep checking that the eggs are ok but it's very important to leave things alone and not to fiddle.
