What kind of incubator? If you have a water heater thermostat, It may have gone out. It happened just a week or so ago to another BYCer who had 18 babies in a hatcher. Her temp climbed to 106 and higher and killed them all. I'd race to home depot and get another and change it out if that is what you have.

Covino i think it is

It like 11pm here and it had to muck up now im going to loose my valentime hatch and this weeks hatch if it dont sort out

we putting it on a time thing to see if it can stay near the temp and see if it goes back up like that till tomorrow

Sounds like the thermostat isn't working and I don't imagine you can get a replacement in time for lock down. Is there anyone you could borrow an incubator from? For now, all I can think of is to increase ventilation to bring the temp down, course your humidity will decrease too. This is wacky, but what if you put ice cubes around the edges, they'll decrease the temp while increasing the humidity.
I hope someone will have some better ideas for you.

That's a great idea Champer! I'd try that if it were 11 pm here. might make for a restless night, but better than a lost hatch.
