Sometimes chicks just pass and there isn't anything you can do , it just happens. I give my chicks electrolytes and vitamins in the their water for the first week . You might try some of that . I wouldn't think that they have any diseases or anything like that.
Depending on what you are keeping them in , you can hang them up on a board or something . I also will sometimes use marbles for the water container so they are less likely to make a mess with the water.
Personally I would wait to give them yard time until around 2-3 weeks. When you do put them out in the yard I would make sure they were contained and that they couldn't get out or anything get it.

What I would do is open them up and see if there was any development . Were you opening the incubator while they were hatching ? Did you have any problems with temp or humidity ?
I would go ahead and toss them because the chances of them hatching are slim to none. You can open them up and see if there was any development . How old were the eggs when you put them in the incubator ?
