Help I keep loosing chicks!!!
Quote: I guess I was thinking that you had your chicks in the incubator after hatching and left them there for a few days at 99 degrees- sorry. Eggs getting cold near hatching can delay the hatch but I don't think it would cause them to get pneumonia.- ChickensAreSweet

Help I keep loosing chicks!!!
It sounds like they were too hot. Hatching temperatures are higher than chick requirements. I hatch at 99.5 F. The first week of life chicks require 90-95, then decrease by 5 degrees per week until 70, and fully feathered, usually 6 weeks.- ChickensAreSweet
