    Incubating eggs question????

    I have a home made incubator that i made.it works perfect for the most part.but my question is would 90 degrees be to high for eggs to incubate?it stays 89 degrees for the most part but i live in florida and i have it in my garage and when it gets up in the 90's it tend to jump to 90 degrees.my digital thermometer reads 89.8. so will 90 degrees kill the eggs or will i have messed up babbies?

    No but it also doesn't Give you room for error. Especially around hatching the eggs go up a degree. If the Inc is at 90 there could be a variance in a degree or two. So I'd wAtch the temps extremely carefully.

    so i have it set to 89 degrees so i should drop it to 88 degrees then.but when it gets cooler at night it will read 88 degrees and not 89.i read 88-89 degrees is fine so is realy fine if it goes 88-89 throughout the day?
