Crazy new separation anxiety at 5 weeks

[StonerChick]

I have 10 Seramas that are 5 weeks old. At this point they are mostly in my room in an indoor aviary. We do go outside, as long as it’s warm enough as they are not completely feathered. One of the boys was pecking other chicks and then getting pecked. When he would get pecked back he would FREAK out and start screaming. He would then start pacing in front of the gate and trying desperately to get out to the point I’m afraid he would injure himself. So I would take him out. Fast forward a week and now he will not leave my side. He sleeps with me. He goes to Target with me in a sling. Is this ever going to end? Am I going to have to bite the bullet and let him scream? I wasn’t that kind of parent, lol, we did attachment parenting, so that would be really hard for me. lol TIA!!

Sounds as if he has you trained, and sounds as if you know what needs to be done - or he could be your house chicken.

I was afraid of that. lol All of them will be inside some but I’d like to be able to pee in peace. lol He follows me around like a duck. lol
