102 Temp. Did I kill them????? :(

Hi all,
I have had a horrible thing happen. My LG got up to 102.9 last night at some point. I came down this morning and my water wiggler also said the temp had gotten up to 102. So, did I kill the little peeps inside? I had just candled them last night and had 8 confirmed. Man am I bummed this

morning. I am afraid to candle them this am for fear of adding any more heat to the eggs at this point. What do you think?

I would say they are fine. Mine went up to 106F once and they where fine

Is your LG a still air ( no fan) or forced air (fan)

If it is a still air I believe you will be ok. The temp in a still air is suppose to be 101-102.

Honestly, all you can do is candle them and watch for movement then candle them again in a few days to see if you continue to see growth and movement.

How far along are you in your hatch?

Adding - this is one reason I dislike the lower priced LG's.

I do wish they'd improve the LG. We've heard too many stories about how hard it is to regulate. They finally improved the egg turner so why cant they improve the thermostat?
