Hard boiled???

Checked the temp of my bator this morning and it was at 105.5!!!

Will the eggs be ok?? i have it back to where it should be but it was probably like that for about 5-6 hours. What do you think. I just put them in last night so still on day 1.

Yikes.

I have not had a spike like that (that I know about) so am no expert BUT I would give them till day 7 to 10 before candling and giving up on them.


Do you know what might have caused the spike?


Just a couple things I can think of:
Did you let the bator run for a couple days before setting the eggs? Also, once you put the eggs in - do not touch the temp adjustment - cause it takes up to 24 hours for the eggs to get to incubation temps.

Yep.. I would do the same.. I have seen high spikes, so hopefully you caught it in time...

Is this your first hatch?

it was running for the past month..... i took the bad eggs out of my hatch cleaned it out and put the new ones in..... i didn't turn it off. I have no idea what could cause the spike. I did go from having 7 eggs incubating to 38???? Would that do it with the added eggs? If it take 24 hours for the eggs to get to incubation temp then i should still be ok right? It may have just sped that up a bit?? It was only a couple of hours so i hope so.......

2nd hatch. First one went fine on temp/humidity. No spike or anything.

Spikes at the beginning and the end make no difference at all. Don't worry. They are fine.
