Sadly some of these little creatures just aren't meant to make it I think no matter how perfect we try to make the experience. Big hugs dear and like others have said, you are handling this with grace and professionalism in sharing it with us.

The remaining hatchlings are all that much more precious because of this experience.

I couldn't agree more. Even though I was deeply saddened by them passing, I was even more relieved that it was nature and not myself that laid them to rest.
