    Question on newly hatched chick

    I hatched a some Icelandic chicks, they had some stuff dry to their fluff and skin is exposed to to heatlamp. I'm afraid of burning the skin from the light. Is there something I can do? I tried once already to moisten the inner shell. Is there something I can put on the chick to moisten it more?

    Just a question. These are in my blrw. I added a new rooster this past year it is out of Barber lines and out of him I get a average of about 15-20 percent chicks with single combs.

    Chicks are piping one question?

    Lockdown was two days ago. Humidity was at 70 percent and today the humidty is down to 65. I'm thinking this is ok but this is my first time hatching. I guess how low can humidity go before I have to worry? Thanks
