In my experience they quiet as they get older. Give it a few days, it’ll probably quiet down.

They really tend to cry if there's no adult around! Sorry to say, you just have to put up with it. Nothing's wrong, it just wants attention, it's normal. The hens actually continue to make that noise into adulthood, but only if they get separated from the other birds. Some are more clingy than others, too.

Every now and again I get a chick that decides it doesn't like me as a parent and wants a feathered fluffy mom to snuggle with.... they take a couple of days to get over it.

The last batch I hatched rejected me entirely. They only cared about my wife, I might as well have been part of the furniture. She was exhausted by the time they feathered up.

That's why you put the food and water in the cool side of the brooder. It's really fun watching them come swarming out of the warm spot when you turn on the light in the morning. They frantically fill their little crops then swarm back to the warm spot to fall asleep.

I had a chick, which also was constantly crying, very loud.
She is still the loudest as adult, ... that's why she is named "Tweety"

I guess it is a question of character.
