Great hatch. I'm surprised by the after hatch deaths. None of my chicks have been friendly. Every time I reach in the brooder they act like I'm reaching for a chicken nugget to dip in sauce and eat in one bite.

I get after hatch deaths every once in a blue moon. The two that died were the smallest, so I don't know if it's genetic, or just not healthy. I'm hoping this next hatch goes a little better
ETA: Is your brooder elevated? I keep them on a table in the house brooder for the first few days, and the outside brooders are 3 ft off the ground. That, along with the plate heater, has really calmed the chicks down

I moved them to a fresh hutch. Three more look like they're butts are messy. We put ACV and oregano oil in their water and gave them clumps of dirt/weeds

I need help fast! Three of the 20 meat chicks.
Last night one had a wet bottom, Andi thought he had just fallen inter watered. This morning t and two others have wet bottoms, closed eyes, are standing in the corners with their wings slight lifted. Does it sound like Cocci?

Sorry, was in a meeting.

That is sign of illness, but not necessarily cocci. How old are they, what does the poop look like?

They're maybe a week old. They're butts have yellowy water mess on them and I think there was blood.

If either the red or yellow cup has water and not full of beads I would almost bet they are jumping into the water. That's one of the reasons my waters all have glass beads with chicks. The jump in then get wet and then cold.
I hope that this is what's happening.
Sit and watch them
