I have only ever gotten chicks from a hatchery so they were usually a few days old when I got them. Well I just hatched out my first batch of chicks and they don't seem very active compared to the ones I have had before, is that normal? They hatched out late yesterday afternoon and into the night. Today they chirp if I disturb them but are mostly just laying down all the time. The ones I got from the hatchery were always running around and really active when I got them. Is it just going to take them some time to get up their energy after working so hard to hatch? They aren't completely dry yet, should I try and dry them off, would that help? If so, what should I use- a blowdryer or a towel? I have food and water available for them but they aren't showing any interest in it yet.
Thanks!!!
