I've seen deformations in various kings and milks from too high incubation temps.



I think anything higher than 84 is risky.



Personally, my temps vary from a peek high of 84 F (during the day) to 75 F at night.



Yes, it takes longer for the eggs to hatch...but the neonates come out HUGE and healthy.



Just something to consider.



Also, too moist is a killer...keep a close eye on that as well.



Good luck!
