So they are in my room right now so they dont get a wind chill. I only have one left, and it is the healthy one so I guess I dont have to worry about dying chicks anymore lol. but, it is in my room and in a sterilite tote. I have the food and water on one side of the tote and the heat lamp is...

They were all moved from the incubator to the brooder at about day 2. The temp in the bator was 99.8 and the humidity was enough to where there was condensation on the plastic/glass part. It did not say what percentage the humidity was.

UPDATE: the last one just passed :( I am not sure of the cause, it was peeping and breathing fine, taking a nap. then it just stopped breathing. Im not sure what is wrong with them, all the light colored ones had something wrong with them, the black one is fine tho. Only one left who is healthy...

The others are doing fine. for now............... But the black one was already fluffed since yesterday and she is eating and drinking fine and when she needs (im assuming its a she from the wing method) and the other one is still napping, but it peeps and opens its eyes when you touch it. I...

UPDATE: the one that was laying there and couldn't open its eyes died :(

Alright, thanks for your help. Will do!

Well, they are all just kinda laying there, except the one that is already fluffed, but it sleeps too. So I cant really tell, the one with the weird legs cant open ites eyes but they arent stuck, if that makes sense? The other one just sleeps as well, but its legs are normal and can open its...

The lamp is just a regular brooder lamp, red, and if i move it any closer then they are too hot. Seems like they are fine with it because the one chick that is actually doing good seems warm enough.

Alright, now this chicks leg cant get uner itself. It was im dunno why they arent now.

Im not sure if they are too cold? If I lower the lamp they are too hot.

Im not sure what the problem is, all my chicks are dying!!!!! 1 more just passed :(

How long does it usually take for a chick to "fluff up?" I had 6 large Cochins hatch and 1 of them fluffed completely overnight. It had hatched in the evening, then about 9 in the morning it was all fluffed. 3 other chicks hatched in the evening and night as well. They have been in the...

Haha thats alright, all the eggs hatched already, and the unfertile one got thrown out on the ending of week 2. So there is no more eggs to be smelly. The chicks did not look like they were pooping lots, but it could be from inside the eggshell that they pooped in there maybe. Either way it...

Anyone have any Ideas on why they smell so bad? ......

Im not sure why it smells so bad, I took most to all the egg shells out but the paper towel I put down was soaked and was a brownish color. Im not sure if "extra stuff" comes out of the egg when they hatch. But it just seems odd because one would think I would notice from past hatches.
