103.5 Temp???

[yanmar1610d]

My incubator temp shot up to 103.5. When I left for work at 6:30am the temp was 99.5. When I came home around 4:30pm the temp was 103.5. Are the eggs dead now or can they handle this high of temp? This is only day 4.

You don't know how long the temp was high, but even if it was for a while they should be OK that early on. Near hatching they might suffocate. Good luck.

Your eggs are fine. 103 F is not going to hurt them

They are fine. Mine has shot up to 104-105 for a bit. I think it is constantly maintaining that temperature that does the harm.
