hi i have 2 baby chucks which have just hatched ,both have there eyes closed and when i put one in the tank it just lay there.all other of my hatchlings where very active .the other baby is still attached to the egg but out . i put the chuck that i put in the tank back in the incubator then looked at it a day later and it had its eyes open but soon as i put it in the tank again it just layed there with its eyes closed . i dont want to put it in the tank and it dry up,should i leave them in the incubator for a couple of days or get them out.

its ok dont worry about following up on the first message.the babies are running around like the rest of them now.
the reason i got worried is because all the other babies where running around the incubator when i looked ,apart from one which had its eyes closed and later died ,so i thought that the others would die too but they are fine.
