What is the absolute highest tempature that an incubator can be without cooking the eggs but the eggs still developing?

I didnt check on my bator one time and was reading 102 and still had a good hatch but some people said that wasnt high enough to cook my eggs so I dont know what the highest would be

I have seen where some people have had temp spikes of up to 105 or so and the eggs still hatched. However high temps over a long time will end up killing the embryos. If you do manage to have the incubator a too high they may still hatch, however you really risk ending up with lots of deformed chicks.​

Just depends on how long and how high.

I spiked an incubator up to 110 when a chick had just started to pip and killed it. Temp was 110 for an hour or so when I checked and found the dead chick.

Its a combination of how high and how long once you get up to 102 or 103 or more anything over a hour or so would proubly kill the embryo as the temp raise the time will decrease.
