Definitely incubate them. You have nothing to lose except at this point except a little electricity. If you see any/all of them discolor in the next few days-toss them.
Re: Major incubation failure
They are fried at that temperature.
135 is roasting hot
No way they survived imo.

I candled them once and saw perfect veins. If the eggs went on to die would the veins then disappear?
Defects seem likely if they survive, but yes veins will disappear & before that, they'll be smelling bad & drawing flies...sorry. Hope for now, but be prepared for reality.

Thanks. :) If it were you, would you just stop incubation now?

No, I give everything a chance until proven otherwise. ;) You'll know soon enough.

If you stopped incubating now, you'd always wonder "what if...???" At least I would!
Re: Major incubation failure
I just checked on the eggs. The smell has gone down significantly. I candled them all again and they a still have great veins. The eggs are a bit sunken, which I assume is just from the initial heat up stealing a lot of their overall moisture, so I added some damp sphagnum moss around them to see if that helps. There are a couple spots where I'm guessing condensation dripped down, so I've removed the wrap I had underneath the lid to prevent more.
We will see what happens!
