HI!!! My first time incubating and I have two batches of eggs day 22 and 24 in a Janoel12... last night there was a bit of a panic with two of my 24s that were closer to hatch than the other day 24s, so I kept them in their incubator to start lock down and moved the rest (which had small air cells and needed to lose some moisture into the day 22 incubator

ANYWAYS LONG STORY SHORT, I took out the turning shelf in the Janoel and laid the rest of the eggs out on the lock down level which is further from the heating element and amidst the frenzy, I didn't think to raise the temp. ugh !!!!!! Now at 3pm I just realized their temp was at 93.5F for god knows how long. That incubator has been really consistent with temp so I don't think it was a spike, so it may have been 93.5 since last night. Will the 8 eggs in there be okay??
 
I think they'll be just fine. It takes a long time for the core temperature of the egg to drop enough to kill the developing duckling.
