It starts at 7am and goes alllll day long unless he should fall asleep,,,but when he's up,,,he is chirping,,,it's not a happy little cheep cheep like the other birds it's a big loud noisy CHURP CHURP as loud as he can!!!

he may be cold, is he cuddling with the others, try and put him right under the warmth supply (light) and see if he stopps good luck

Could be the chick is a cockerel and hard headed at that. Have you tried putting the chick next to you with a blanket to see if he is cold or maybe just wants some close contact? What types of food have you been offering the chicks? Could be that this chick is a picky eater. Other than that I'm afraid I'm out of ideas. GL to you

I had one like that too, except I am pretty sure she wasn't sleeping. I finally picked her up and wrapped her in a piece of a towel and carried her around. She would then shut up and sleep. I did that for a couple of days and then she seemed to be fine. I was accused of spoiling her...but it worked!!
