    humidity

    I am in day 29 and no hatches, I realize now that I did not have enough humidity at final stage. I have upped the humidity to 75%. Do any of you experts out there think any of them will still hatch?

    Newbie to incubating here. I just set up the incubator, got the eggs in and thought I had it set just right for the temp. I came back two hours later, and the temp was at 110. Will this have killed my eggs or so you think they will be ok?
