At least my own incubator is showing up today.

Which means your temp has probably been too low.

Yea i know the bator is obviously not correct. Won’t make that mistake again.

So question if any of you might know. One of my chicks just died he was fine acting normal in the brooder and all of a sudden was on his side chirping loudly and looking like he was having a seizure. I picked him up and dipped the tip of his beak in water a couple of times and he seemed to try to drink it.
He was moving his head but it was like his body was paralyzed. Then he passed. What could this be? I’m so sad and i don’t know what could have happened.

Oh no...I'm so sorry.
How old was this one?

Almost 2 days. It’s so weird he acted completely normal and then that. Also after he died mucus looking stuff came out of the nostril on his beak

It's anyone's guess what happened to him.

Are you sure he was eating?
What exact temp is the brooder in the warmest spot?

Did this one hatch late too?

Somethings things just don't develop right... Especially if the temps are wrong.

Sorry to hear that too.
No help with a possible cause. Sometimes it just happens and we never know why.
Congrats on the others. I skimmed your thread so probably missed it but what did you end up with? Breeds wise.
So when does round 3 start?

The warmest spot is 92 degrees Fahrenheit. It hatched on day 22 like end of day i think actually. I didn’t personally see him eat but i did see him drinking.

Make sure the others are eating

He could be a failure to thrive...the egg could have come from not so healthy parent stock.
It could have got an infection.
No telling.
If you want a for sure answer you can sent him to your state lab for a necropsy.

What state are you in?
