Is disaster too strong a word?

We've had a zero percent success rate with our hatching eggs. The first egg had to be thrown away because it was rotten, and the other two just didn't hatch. The chicks had died inside the egg some time before they were due to hatch. Both were tiny but perfectly formed with all their feathers. They hadn't yet absorbed the yolk. I'm sure I could find out exactly what day they died but I really don't have the heart to do it. 
I will be buying more eggs in a couple of weeks and trying again. 
Hopefully with more success.

Thank you for leaving a comment. I'm currently waiting for the eggs I want, to come back into stock. So fingers crossed that they will hatch well. :D
