I have 6 silkie eggs currently in lockdown on day 20. Humidity was at 60-70% the temp was pretty stable from 98-100 but for about an hour I guess the incubator shut off and the temp is now 78 degrees but I turned it back on. Did I kill them?
Help incubator shut off at day 20

No you didn't kill them, try not to worry. At this late stage in incubation the chicks will be producing heat of their own and the egg takes much longer to cool even though the air temp had gotten low.
Good luck with your hatch

Thank you!! I'll let you know how it works out! I orginally started out with 24 eggs from two seperate breeders but only 6 were fertile.
I've had the same with some eggs I got 
She did send me replacement eggs but 10/18 were clear in the replacement too
Good luck, hope it goes well for your 6

Ahh so frustrated!! I have an app called hatchabatch and it tracks your hatches for you and reminds you when to candle and stuff. It's a day off which I didn't realize until my second hatch because I thought they were just a late hatch due to temp. So actually today is day 21 but nothing so far. Not a peep or rock.
Try not to worry, 21 is just a guide. I didn't get my first pip untill day 21 on the hatch I've just done. All 8 hatched in the end.
I know it's easier said than done but really try not to worry
