Hi, I have a clutch of eggs that i have in a hovabator and yesterday the temp inside went up to 95F. I fixed the problem with the thermostat and it went back to 89F. Then i went out and i came home to a power outage and the temp went to 84F. Will the eggs be fine or will I lose the clutch?Thanks for ant info

It depends on how long the temps were maintained. I believe if they were short - 4 or so hours, you are fine. The only one I'd worry about is the 95. But it sounds like you still have a problem with your thermostat. Are you using the "wafer" AND another controller? If so, you shouldn't be.
