Chick won't stop crying, no clue why!

It started after I put them back in their box after they jumped so hard they shifted the netting off the top.

This is my third time raising chicks, and this group is blue ameraucana. One of them won't stop screaming their head off, it has been over an hour and a half, and they have no reason to! Was generally well behaved for three weeks and now just won't stop screaming. Doesn't want to be held, doesn't want to perch on a high place with her buddies, doesn't want food, water, or heat. Not sitting in the shade either. Not comforted by my voice. Completely healthy, flying, jumping, and moving around. They are fully vaccinated and don't have pasty butt. Please help!

Hi! How is she pooping? I would try to dose her with coconut oil.

Have they had anything to eat other than their chick crumbles/all-flock?

If it's a nice day there, maybe try putting them outside.

Update: they settled down an hour after the sun was completely down. I noticed they were pooping out basically just water and not eating food, only water, last night. Nothing in their environment changed last night except that I gave them a bigger feeder. Poops now look normal again and they're back to being social!
