There are multiple reasons for eggs not to hatch, so the "cold spell" does not necessarily have to be the cause.
An "eggtopsy" sometimes reveals the possible cause. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threadloom/search?keywords=eggtopsy&tab=0
They might have drowned due to excessive albumen. This happens when the parent stock was fed too much protein or the temperatures in the incubator were too low over a long period of incubation.yeah i did the eggtopsy, all the chicks had internally pipped,,, but were lifeless,,,
i went myself and brought the eggs from a nearby farmer
