I had 5 buckeye chicks hatch over past 12 to 36 hours. I put them in the brooder once they were fluffified to find one dead on it's back several hours later. Another was on it's back but alive, so I immediately brought it back into the incubator and it looks fantastic now. Only thing it, it's not peeping. It looks like it's peeping, but all that comes out is a faint little hiss/whisper.
Is it possible this little chickie is mute?? Can that even happen in chickens? It's hatchlings all have LOUD peeps.
Thanks...
