Curious / learning 5day old chicks

[Arii]

Is this normal? Also do all chicks sleep silently and make no noise till morning?

They can appear dead at times but when they start Crying is when to be concerned

it’s frightening so I get it completely. You don’t want them crying. Rather them be sleeping

They look perfectly content. Enjoy them.

It is nerve wracking at first. Ask as many questions as you need to - that's what the community is here for (and it's a great community full of lots of helpful people).

Understand completely. Let them rest and you do the same. You’re doing the best you can for them. Make sure they’re fed medicated starter feed & water always. I’ve learned if it’s not meant to be, it’s not meant to be. Your babies look great.

I will and I am glad i came across the community. Thank you. One of the chicks seems a bit skittish and i dont know why it just wakes up abruptly every few seconds. Also is it normal for them to sleep w one of their heads on the other and then heads down?
