When it gets hot i stop hatching. The heat makes the work load heavier and I think the chicks are more secepitable to disease just because of mice, flys, Misquitos, and just getting overheated, me and them. I like to hatch in the cooler months, ship eggs in the spring and eat my own eggs in the summer. 90+ degrees in a box is just to hot in my opionion. Here is a picture of my Blue Orpingtons another great layer and meat Bird. They lay like crazy.
