It depends on how long it was that high. If it was long enough for the internal temp of the egg to get up to 104 then there's a good chance you lost them

However, if the temp wasn't up that high for very long you're probably fine. I would just leave them in the bator until day 24 and 25 and see what happens. They're so close to hatch day I don't think I'd bring them out of lockdown to candle... I'd just wait them out and see if any of the little babies pop out in the next coupld of days.

I think your good

I had mine spike too. It's a pain. 104 isn't to awfull high.

I think they'll be fine.

Good luck!

Our last hatch, we had a spike to 104 on day 17 in the LG forced air bator, and I was really worried, too. I thought, well crap, we cooked 'em at the last minute. But nope, we had a better than 50% hatch so I'm calling it successful!

I had a temperature spike on Sunday. It had dropped to around 90 and then I turned it up too much and it was like 110. Of course I scrambled to correct it right away, but I had to go to a riding lesson and couldn't stick around. They look like they've still grown today, so I'm thinking things are still all good! This is my first attempt at incubating, so I sure hope they're ok!

I think you might be just fine. Maybe a few fatalities, but probably not too many.
