Power went out

A tree down the road fell on the power line and the power was off for about three hrs. I’m on day three of incubation. Got 12 eggs in there. The temp when it came back on was 90. Do I need to get more eggs and start over

You should be okay as it didn’t drop too far. If you think about it, it would be just like if a hen got up to drink a bit of water for a few minutes before returning to the nest. I would try to get some sort of backup power source that can power your incubator for a few hours just in case.

Those should be fine. I have heard of 12 hours without power, and nearly every egg hatched. Here once for an hour, nothing adverse happened.

They're fine, 90 is not a dangerous temperature.
