Thread formerly known as Hatch day is today

QJ & all... how come my chicks aren't fluffing up so fast? One was kinda sticky, so I gave it a gentle rub with a warm, wet washcloth. Also had to use a warm, wet q-tip to help one open its eye.

Think I overdid the humidity? It was at 70 steady last night and spiked at some point when the first two hatched.

Is it like carmelized sugar? If so humidity was too high. 70's a little high for chickens though IMO. I do 60.

Duck (ancona) exactly 20 days ago. Temp is usually 99-100. Humidity is usually 40%-50%

Things seem normal. Can you take a pic of him while your candling? Check both ends, see if hes turned. He definately should not hatch before day 26.

Hey Marty, They will love you for it. What I find funny is now that older babies are in humans are scary phase, they get especially scared when it is time to clean pen... But if you have treats, they suddenly forget that they were scared.

That is how I noticed hitler/chaplin/eva was not feeling well so fast, because he/she did not respond to treat time the other night. He/she is doing great, like it never felt unwell.
