I hatched some chicks on January 28, 2020. Well, when everything gets quiet for the night. The boy chick will scream very loudly. Then, it upsets the girl chick and she starts screaming.
Whe they chirp loudy. Usually, I will walk up to the box and say “Shhh”. Then, I’ll turn around and go back to bed. Then, they’ll be quiet for about 2 mins and then start screaming again.
how do I stop them forming screaming loudly?
 
As stated, chicks cry for a number of reasons. They could be too hot or too cold. What is the temp you have them at? It could be a sickness (any diarrhea/pasty butt/sneezing)? Sometimes it is just the chick's personality. It seems there is always a whiny one in the bunch. In that event, get yourself some ear plugs! :lol:
 
They are crying for a reason. It could be predators! I'm sure there is a reason. Heat, cold, predators, something. Do you have a trail camera to see what's going on when you aren't there? Or are they in your house? Something is going on to disturb them. .
 
Many times this a conditioned behaviour. They know you come running everytime they cry. :gig


The greatest result of this conditioning technique is the fact that 99.9% of us all thought of a dog and a bell (even though he did much more work than just this) when reading that :D :D :D :D

Pavlov trolling everyone and laughing to this day :D
