So I have 11 1 week old chicks. I have one that starts chirping really loud when she hasn’t seen me in a certain amount of time. It’s the same one every time. It’s the worst at night after I go to bed. She will sit there and YELL for a good 5 minutes straight while the others are asleep. She always stops as soon as she sees me and then starts up again after a few minutes. What is she trying to tell me lol is it possible for chicks to miss their “mom” (me) and cry out? She got another one going last night. It doesn’t bother me. I love their little sounds lol just curious as to why she seems like she starts crying when she hasn’t seen me for awhile. Here’s some pics of my babies for the fun of it 😁

Very cute babies first.
Second chicks can cry for there mothers. The baby probably just misses you. I have had a very loud chick who did this before. It shows how much they love you.
That’s what I thought! Thank you 😊 this is my first time raising chickens so the behavior threw me off lol just wanted to be sure there wasn’t anything wrong or I wasn’t missing anything since she acts happy and healthy the rest of the time.
