I stop turning, candle and weigh at day 16, and basically go hands off lockdown but I don't necessarily increase humidity until day 18 unless I need to due to weight loss of the eggs. At day 17 is when the chicks move into their hatching position, so seeing some egg movement/wiggling is normal.
. They're all repositioning now so I put them in lockdown tonight. Now I have my fingers 
for a good hatch 
Day 19 heading into 20, everyone is alive and wiggling.Haste makes waste,,,, you may have heard that before. Leave humidity where it is. Do your lockdown as your schedule shows to.
If your chick hatches early,, then just remove when dried, and place into your brooder.
Looks like time to have brooder all set up and ready.

Hatched eggs!! All of them made it. The one I thought was too early was the last to hatch go figure.Wiggling eggs!
Oh yay!! So glad they all made it. Yes, it’s a guessing game. And I’m usually wrong.Hatched eggs!! All of them made it. The one I thought was too early was the last to hatch go figure.
It is!! The first chick to hatch took a several hour rest and I was concerned because it wasn't chirping and since it was late and I didn't want to shrink wrap anyone I put some soft music on to sleep (incubator was in same room) and about an hour later I hear this large crack and loud chirping. I guess it was taking a napOh yay!! So glad they all made it. Yes, it’s a guessing game. And I’m usually wrong.
