We asked Cornell Lab of Ornithology and this is their reply: The optimal range for egg incubation is 96.8° F to 104.9° F [36° C to 45.5° C] Once those box temperatures increase into the 90s the heat itself will start incubation. Higher than 104.9° F and the eggs or nestlings are unlikely to survive.
