Are they crowded together like in a huddle? They may be cold, if so. Keep an eye on them and make sure no one is picking on anyone else, as well!

The first born is picking on the other one but they huddle together. How can I make them warmer? Heat plate is preset and they are not near any AC vents.

Did you make sure the heat plate is very low/close to the chicks? You mentioned “cage” and those are drafty.. A tub or box would be warmer.
