Right now she doesn't want food. Her crop is pretty big so I wonder if she's just not hungry now. She did drink water and electrolyte drink. She was in her brooder most of the night. No chirping until I picked her up and put her in her chair. I put her back into her broader and the chirping continued. I lowered her light and it's now 82° her chirping slowed after doing this. She's still doing it but not as high pitched or loud. When I just hold her in my palm she doesn't cry. I'll let her spend time with her friends a little later when I'm able to supervise them. The other chicks are making the same sound as her so I think this is something affecting all of them. They're in the same room but separate brooders.Chirping a lot is telling you she's not happy. Figuring out why she's not happy can be more difficult.
Hungry/thirsty, too hot/cold, missing her buddies, needing to poop....could be she's figured out chirping a lot makes you appear too (they can pick up on that quickly LOL)
She may need a break periodically from the chair too.
