What the heck happened?

Well, BOTH of my coturnix chicks died through the night. The one never made it completely out of the egg, the other was out and acting fine, then this morning, dead. I had even showed the lively one to a friend who was over, and that was like 3am (yeah, yeah, I know, we all have weird hours), and then around 7:30, it was dead. I never took it out of the bator either.

Weird, was there maybe a temp spike?

It dose sound like a spike

Yeah, it's best to remove them within 12 hours, but I have had some 'different' chicks that were in the brooder for 2 days and all died one after the other. These were your brown tux's? Maybe they were just weak?
