I have a newly hatched chick with a bloated belly , that mostly lays on his back at @ 12 hours after hatch. I am having problematic chicks that are late hatchers after a power outage.

That same thing happens to me we raise marans and Australorps. The late hatchers seemed to have problems so where on their back and coudlnt not walk some where fat.
I think it might have happen by
1) incubator lost to much humity
