just wondering what is the max temp hen's eggs can stand and still remain alive? I know from personal experience that some can stand quite long periods of chilling in the middle of incubation, but don'tknow about the other extreme.

I know my incub. has gotten up to 102F, for about 1/2hr, but then again I only had 1 hatch form 12.   from what I've read not over 101, and not less then 98F.  As far as boiling?? don't want to know  lol  yf Betty

just checked my thermometer against a clinical one and i reckon its been reading about 1 to 2 degrees fahrenheit too high. I wonder if that is why the last set of eggs that i set failed I was blaming it on my young cockerel who always manages to fall off or get on sideways. Will have to set some more with the temp slightly lower before the cockerel gets the bullet - maybe he has a future after all
