Keep the cage/brooder box clean daily.

shredded paper is not the best for absorbing spills or droppings.

Try wood chips or straw for the bottom of the box and replace it every few days.

Many times it is spilled chick feed mixed with spilled water that starts to rot rather than the feces making the smell. The light you use to keep the chicks warm "cooks the wet grains" and they rot quickly. Move the food and water containers away from direct heat into a corner of the box where it is a little cooler.

Ensure the chicken coop is cleaned regularly, with proper ventilation to prevent ammonia build-up. Use dry bedding material like straw or wood shavings to absorb moisture and odor. Adding natural odor-absorbing agents like lime or baking soda can also help reduce smell.
