You're right, Gregory, and it seems it wasn't kind this time! So sad! Thanks for looking.

Were these two eggs not fertile, Robert? Thanks for looking.
That would be my guess, maybe they got chilled or something.
My grand mother raised chickens and every so often not all the eggs would hatch.
Mostly she bought Leghorn chicks (about 100-200 each spring) from a hatchery but some of her chickens were allowed to hatch their eggs. Banty's and Rhode Island Reds were the ones she and Granddad kept for looks (and for me, first grandchild) and allowed to brood their eggs. The Leghorns out numbered them 10 or more to 1 and were the ones that became fried chicken and we gathered their eggs for use or sale to the market in town.

I know it's all about nature, Robert, but I can't get over feeling sad. I was soooo anxious to see those little ones.

Check all the area ponds and other water, close enough the parents could lead the little ones to walk there.
