Wondering why 2 of my blue azures would die 5 days apart? They seem fine up till the day before. I notice them standing inside the coop, not coming out, then they lay down. Comb had been big, tall and bright and last few days on my 2nd one it’s laying flat. I felt for egg but don’t think egg...

day #19 morning and I have a pip hole already, and I can hear peeping! My first hatch so I'm overthinking everything lol Is this ok? I wanted to add water as humidity is down to 63%
