1)still air incubator - keep temp closer to 101.5 (better hatch rate)
2) your hens probably need more protien - this produces better eggs
3) Check your humidity levels - lots of good data on this site for proper levels & guages
4) brooder box - is there an area where they can move to get away from the high heat - once hatched and dry - first week mine stay at 92F and good success
5) once hatched & dry - do you make them drink (gently place beak in water), from their water source in brooder box?
Good Luck!
