One thing about this house we don't have a problem with is humidity. I usually just keep adding water to maintain it to a 35% level. It may do up or down some but hatches have been fine. Temp is holding at 99.6 . Even when temps went higher still got a decent hatch. Lots of things can affect a hatch and unless one knows for certain what went wrong it's just a guess IMO.

Anyhow a new heater fan unit for this is $66.00. If it's not covered I will be very upset. It should be though since it's less than a year old. I really thought they lasted longer. DW will not be pleased.

Yes, I'd say still try it. If they're cracked, they're frozen. Otherwise they are still usable.

I've incubated 18 day old eggs that have gone through 70 degrees before, and they were still fertile.

SO sorry to hear of that though!

Folks around here are just so helpful, aren't they?

Yep, sort of like high school peer pressure.. Bunch of enablers. Only no one here is twisting my arm.

Closest guess I've seen so far.

Humidity in my family room runs at 35%, but it constantly goes down in the hovabator.
