Bator full of eggs for hatching

My temperature keeps spiking during the day when I'm at work. Gets to 105. Today it was 107 I think it is only for a few hours though and I open it up to cool down as soon as I get home. It should be fine until hatch now because I will be home for the next four days. I'm thinking I should lock down early because the temp has been high for the last couple of days. It is only two days to lock down as it is.

You have a Farm Innovators incubator, right?

What kind of eggs are they? How is the humidity doing? Have you candled them recently? Sorry so many questions!
 
Yes a farm Innovator
Blue Bar and MArans and some of my own chicken eggs. Cochin and EE Humidity has been right around 15 to 20 most of the time and yes I candled them on wednesday. Had alot of movement in them. Air cell looks good.
 
You can bud in any time. I have had okay luck with my bator the last two times. The first two times I tried I did it in the middle of winter with eggs from e-bay and had a zero hatch. Buy eggs from a reliable source or use your own eggs. Do not give up it is the most wonderful feeling when you see those little chicks coming out of the shells.
 
Just locked down my eggs. Of the 37 I started with I locked down 27 eggs. Of the six Marans I have four in locked. Eggs are so dark it is hard to see what is going on in there. Hatch day should be Thursday and/or Friday. Keeping my fingers crossed. I have five BC Marans chicks that are hens and one rooster. As well as wheaten and cuckoo marans So if the ones in the bator do not hatch I can start incubating my own next year. This will be my second attempt on the Marans. My first attempt in March was a zero. Here's hoping for the best
