I'm on Xbox and this happened to me a few nights ago too. I don't know why when I looked up the issue I didn't think to Me Too this.
Anyway luckily for me the egg didn't disappear when the hen(s) laid on it and I was also sure to keep my Sim from throwing the egg out and it eventually hatched.
Edit: Actually one time I had my Sims leave and hang out together on different public lots for a few days before I sent them back home and I had two hatchable eggs in the coop to incubate so maybe those eggs could have been spoiled? Looking at someone's reply about their Sim kids returning home to the eggs missing makes me think that maybe those two eggs spoiled before I had my Sims leave without me knowing it (since I didn't know about this bug until a few days ago).

I've had some eggs hatch normally and some spoil. I didn't realise that it could still hatch so I didn't stop my sim throwing it away, damn... The most recent case was a poor quality regular egg that I placed straight after finding it from the coop. I dragged it from the sim's inventory myself instead of using that option on the egg to "incubate in coop". I have an excellent quality regular egg in the coop still incubating with 16 h left until hatching and that one I placed actually before the one that just spoiled.

@fcab9tcvcfi7It looks pretty good as they're saying no more saves are required so it seems they have been able to reproduce the bug. We'll know if they post that it's on a laundry list but other than that we just wait.

I've been noticing lately this seems to happen with eggs I'm trying to hatch outside of Henford-On-Bagley. If I try to hatch an egg within that world, it's fine. If I have a chicken coop in any other world, the egg will spoil.

I just bought cottage living and I’ve been putting a lot of work into my game and taking care of my cow and chickens etc and it’s really annoying that I can’t hatch any eggs! I’ve gotten two golden hatch-able eggs now, one spoiled and my sim threw it out -_- and the other one just disappeared after I did everything for my sim not to throw it away!

Use the cheats ‘bb.showhiddenobjects’ and purchase a gold hen and gold rooster (or have one of your hens lay a golden egg by ensuring she has is ‘very happy’ and has a maxed relationship with owner sim). Having your sim prepare flirty treats and giving them to hens will also increase the chance of them laying a rare or hatchable golden egg. Once the golden hen lays a golden egg, if your coop is dirty before it has the opportunity to hatch, then purchase a new coop. Drag the golden eggs from the dirty coop into the new, clean coop. Have your sim clean the dirty coop while the golden eggs are not in its inventory, then drag them back from the newly purchased coop once you’re finished.
I was having similar issues with this in my own game and this method seemed to work, as my golden eggs hatched into shimmering golden chicks! Hope this helps!
