MY CHICKS ARE MAKING SOME CRACKING AND SIZZLING NOISES!!!

[CRH]

Help guys

my baby chicks who are about 1 week ild are making some sizzling/crackling noises. We can’t tell if it’s from their chest or vent area. We had 1 chick die today unexpectedly… all the chicks are making these noises. Has anyone ever had this happened to them? I keep seeing all these post about how people Are going through the same thing but no one’s has answers… the problem is now 1 of my chicks are dead and I need to figure out what’s going on before I lose all of them ):

they were all incubated, have food and water, & active.
PLEASEEE HELP

I'm so sorry no one replied to you question; let me try calling over some people.

What is the temp in the area you have them in?
Did you give them anything directly to the beak...did you dip their beaks in water? Give them drops of water?

It was just paper towels on the bottom.. I’ve been giving them regular chick food nothing to serious… I’ve never incubated but could it be because of the humidity and there lungs are backed up?? I’ve seen so many people post about this and no one has answers…

It’s a little cold in here but we have a heat lamp. I lowered it down more to the ground and covered there metal bin with a blanket to absorb the heat some more
