I have a chick that hatched out sometime last night. I came home from work and it still looked wet but the other one that hatched last night looked dry. So I took out the one that still looked wet and its feathers are stuck to it's body and are hard, like super glue. I have read about this here on BYC but I can't find the thread. I have tried to "swish" it around in warm water and wipe it off with a papertowel. I put the chick back in the bator to dry but I just touched it again and it's still hard and the feathers are still stuck to it. What would you do in this situation? Wrap a warm wet papertowel around it and leave it in the bator? BTW, my humidity is really high, right now it's at 90%. I assume that is the problem but how do I help the chick?
