I set my eggs into lock down last night. I have 9 eggs. They all have large air cells so I raised the humitiy last night as well. This morning the temp in the incubator was 94. It doesn't have good installation. I dont know how long it was that cold. All eggs were doing well when I candled and set them last night.
 
They should be fine. I have a broody hen sitting on 11 eggs outside and the temp is in the 30s at night and in the morning. She gets off her eggs to eat, drink and poop and 3 hatched today. I'm sure her eggs were less than 94.
 
You'll be ok.

Were there any internal pips?
I don't think so, hear any chirping yet. I just candled last night before I set them in lock down. The green and blue eggs looked very full except for the air cell. The tan and white ones..I could see movement. I didn't turn down the incubator temp. I had it in the foam the incubator came in. I took that off last so I could see inside. I'll keep it insulated at night from now on.

They will be fine.

Is the incubator still air or forced air?

Yes but why if there's a fan circulating the air all the time? I would think it would take care of that. Two of my eggs have pipped so far. But I haven't heard a chirp yet.
It may be because the incubator is not a good incubator. I have a forced air incubator that has many cold spots. I don't use it.

Are you sure you haven't heard any chirps? Is your incubator loud enough to block out the cheeping?
