Im not sure if it will hurt my eggs but its day 1 today and the temp spiked to 101F in a forced air incubator , i was out for a good 7 hours and dont know how long it was like \\
that so a little input please

Thanks
 
NO WORRIES!!! Mine spiked to 114 and then hung around 105 for three hours in the beginning then one week in I lost power in the whole house so it went down to 70 for three hours or more and I still had a GREAT HATCH!!! Out of 5 fertile eggs I got 4 PRECIOUS SILKY babies!!! It'll be fine...BREATHE!!!

101 is ok its only when 102+ for several hours that you can have a problem. Still air bators are actually ran at 101-103. the non circulating air gets heat layers. I measured mine It was 101 at the top of the egg. 99.5 at the bottom of the egg. and 86 in the bottom of the incubator floor.

Good luck and God Bless!
