Babies go into lockdown tonight. (Yeah, I'm late, by like a week in at least one case.) I'll be hatching through Wednesday & Friday, and then my last batch goes into lockdown on Saturday. And then...eggs come again in a week. I have a space problem.

Thanks! I’d enter it in the Easter basket contest, but it has a chick.

Are they in a brooder? I would offer electrolyte water if you aren’t already.

They may just be really sleepy, too.

How long has it been since the weak chicks hatched?

If they are warm enough, plain yogurt and scrambled eggs help sometimes as well as electrolytes.
