HOT just laid eggs from weather

[Amlaprelle]

So it’s 115° here in Arizona. I check on our chickens and then two hours later went back to a new egg... the egg is HOT. Like hotter than when the hens lay on them. It’s only been a couple hours but are they either needing to continue incubating now or can it cool off?! Or is it ruined?!

I’d wait for a more experienced member to answer.

But in my experience if it was just a couple of hours then it’s fine. Mark it if it will make you feel better and that way when you use it you’ll know it was the hot egg and see if you notice anything off.
