I wouldn't toss em yet. Read today someone was up to 107 and now has chicks hatching.

I had two times in a row that mine hit 108 for some reason and I got them to hatch.

How is your bator built? What kind of thermostate and heat source?

its got lights for heat with a low eand water heater thermostat but i should be able to get it to work better when i get a chance to work on it its a 3 self cabinet.

Sorry took so long to get back to you.

Do you have the light close enough to the thermostat and is there a little space behind the thermostat?

That's always something that gets over looked. Once you have them close enough and some space behind that kind of setup works great.

well got 12 eggs hatched out of 60 so far with more hatching the thermostat is about 12 in from the heat lights only thing i need to do to fix it is get a better thermostat and rig the fans so that stay on and i should be good for the next hatch.
