Put them in a warm brooder with nutri drench in the water. And smash the crumbled feed a little extra and spread/drop in front of them on top of a paper towel (since they shouldn't yet be on shavings). Be sure to dip everyone's beak for a drink.

Contact hatchery for replacements.

And keep the environment calm.. no loud music or dogs howling next to them.

Check and double check every day for anyone who develops pasty butt and take care of it quickly.

Make the regular feeder available too... the paper towel feed is just to help with their initial pecking interest.

Thank you for all the advice......so I made a mhp....I just got home and they were not under it but huddled in a corner? I placed them all under it and everyone quieted down. Am I doing something wrong? 4 of the 6 were not under it

My chicks failed to comprehend MHP and I don't use it anymore. You will probably have to teach them.
