Sorry for the sad news
Don't beat yourself up over it... you learn a lot from bad experiences. I had a poor hatch this time too (my first time) but I know that my temp was a bit low for some of my eggs and I had a late hatch and some malpositioned chicks because of it. I also think some of my eggs may have been too old. It's okay and I will do better next time, and so will you! I have 5 little cuties from my batch and I just bought 3 more same aged chicks from the same breeder.
