Dying chicks

[AlleysChicks]

They could have been stepped on by the bigger ones. I lost a few small ones because of that.

Also the chicks look hunched to me like they are cold. Is the bedding wet from the ducklings?

In a couple of spots where the water is at. Where they were at was large that they weren't standing in it unless they were getting a drink. Their crops do feel empty though, which doesnt seem right if I see them eating. I put food in with them in the incubator.

Can you get a little water into the white one? Will it drink?
How warm are you keeping her?

I managed to get some electrolytes into her last night. The incubator was at around 90°

Wet a few spoonfuls of the crumble...make a mash out of it this morning to see if they will eat more.

Don't over heat them. I'd lower it to 85ish at least.

Are they getting enough air in the bator?

Yes. I leave it cracked open a bit. As long as it stays looking good, this afternoon the two will go into their own brooder.
