I have 3 chicks that hatched late last night. They were super active but struggling to move around the incubator because it was crowded with other eggs. A fourth baby really struggled to get out of the shell because of these three piling on top.
So I just moved them into the brooder and they haven't moved at all! They're all breathing but no other movement. I have them in a long aquarium with the heat lamp on just one side, and I put them in the middle so they could adjust if too warm or cold. I'm seriously worried though! Is this normal? It's been about 20 minutes.
