I am not a big fan of wood chips, (in the beginning until they learn to not eat wood chips, but actually i am not a fan of wood chips ever.) Also plastic tubs I am not a fan of.

Did they get help out of the egg or hatch on their own?

Sorry about the loss of your chicks. As @curlyp has posted, I'd encourage you to post in this forum for help: Incubating & Hatching Eggs

Welcome to BYC, and good luck with your next batch of chicks. Have you checked the temperature in the brooder?

Welcome!

I was also wondering what you used to keep them warm after they hatched, and what type of container/box you kept them in.

We are new to hatching eggs. We hatched eggs Only too lived And both of them died within a week. I need some advice on what went wrong . We have 10 more that are on lockdown right now I just don't want to make the same mistake twice

Coccidia and other germs can kill chicks before and after hatching. The incubator should be thoroughly disinfected before using, and eggs free of poop stains. I read a comment here by one farmer who lightly sprays his eggs with 5% alcohol (or hydrogen peroxide?) solution, before closing the incubator, and that significantly increased his hatch rate. Try also medicated feed for the chicks. It's medicated with a coccidistat.
