Im happy to hear because i thought maybe they werent growing, haha definetely an overthinker here. The wobbling is kinda like swaying they just move side to side a bit or waddle when they walk they just dont seem the best balanced, i didnt know if that was normal for young chicks i mean they get around fine they dont fall over or anything like that

im not sure what is the temp in there so im going to pickup a thermometer today, if you have a suggestion of what kind to get? and it is a wooden box, the imPECKables brand

Those brooder boxes are too small, the chicks will grow out of those in 2 weeks. But that sounds good for now.

It does sound a bit weird but I’d say just keep an eye on it

Yeah, cedar shouldn't have done that. If I buy mine from the feed store and they're shipped they it's usually touch and go for the first month. It's a lot of stress on new chicks to be shipped like that. If there's nothing else glaring wrong I'd chalk it up to stress. But hey, that's just my experience!
