Temp spike of 108 degrees on coturnix eggs

[BooneHillbilly]

Well I forgot to put the thermostat probe back in the incubator and had a spike of of 108 degrees. This is day before lockdown, are they dead?

How long was the temp spiked?

Maybe an hour no longer than 2.. This is my second attempt at incubating quail as the person I bought them from the first time dosent know what a fertile egg is...lol

I would think you have a reasonable shot at them being ok. It takes a while after the air temp rises for the temp inside the egg to rise so if it was only an hour I wouldn't think there would be a problem. Nice thing is it won't take long for you to find out for sure. What I hate is when it spikes the first day and you've got to wait quite awhile to find out if you are SOL.
