That sucks. There are many many things that could have caused it, many of which can occur no matter how perfect your process of incubating and everything before that point have been. Sometimes it just happens. I always just try to go through the process as well as I know how and take the good with the bad after that. If you figure there is something OBVIOUS you could you can improve on, do it but I think sometimes over guessing can cause one (I've done it plenty of times over the years)to change things unnecessarily and it ends up causing more problems than doing good.

If you want you can always post more specific things that you wonder if you should change in the incubating process and get feedback. Good luck with the rest of the clutch.
