Hi everyone. I'm incubating some eggs for the first time. Started in a homemade incubator that I monitored closely. Candled at 5 & 7 days & 6/7 were viable. On day 8 the center temp hit 104. Two hrs before, it was 100.5 so I estimate it was above 102 for about an hour.
I figured they were toast but moved them to a new incubator just in case. Just candled on day 13 (12 for one egg) & surprised to see life in all 6! Some are clear to see but a couple of the dark eggs a bit tougher. I am able to identify good air sacs in all.
My concern is whether the hot temp exposure could have done harm. Has anyone experienced successful hatch after high temps?
