Do my chicks need something or just clingy??šŸ˜…

I’m concerned that my chicks need something because they chirp CONSTANTLY, but here’s the kicker…not when I leave the room. Or at night. But the second I walk past them they are chirping like crazy. Do chicks do that for attention? Their heat is fine, food and water is fresh. We do handle them and snuggle them a lot so maybe they’re just spoiled??

Happens to me every time I have chicks! Make sure they're not cold and you have your heat source accurate, but you have to let them cry it out a bit. Upside is that it means they've bonded to you!
 
Clingy. I left a rag in a corner and then lightly wrapped them in it. They could exit whenever they wanted to without disturbing another chick in there. Bought me an hour of pure silence :rolleyes:

They'll still be loud when there is no issue. When they are making a VERY loud siren-like call something is wrong. At least they are mostly quieter than the birds outside my window that declare everyone must be awake at 5 am!
