hadn't emerged going on days
 
Chicken egg lockdown is day 18. Hatch is day 21.
110 F for more than a couple hours will kill the embryos. Continuous temperatures above 105, no embryos should be expected to survive.

Vents should likely be closed the first week as higher CO2 can benefit them. After that, vents should be open since the embryos need oxygen.
 
Thank you ChickenCanoe,

11 to 14 day NO TOUCH
my thermometer is steady 99.5 F
