Is he the only chick? This happened to mine after a really bad hatch where he was the only one to survive. If he's not the only chick, then check if he's been hurt by the others, if they have food, or maybe a noise just scared him. Even if he's biting alot, you might want to pick him up and try to cuddle him. It calms them down sometimes. If he's outdoors it might have been a predator in the area. My hens start screaming non-stop all day because of foxes in the area

Try giving treats, or talking in a really calm voice. Look around if your outside. Last time my hens kept squeaking because there was a pregnant racoon in our rasberry bushes

thats where i found this to be a real problem, worms the greatest thing that has ever been make to exist i tried to give him one it was like he wanted to eat it but as soon as it touched his mouth he was over it
i was thinking maybe he has a sore in his mouth...idk though this is something i have no idea what i am dealin with so

If that's the case you might want to bring him to the vet. I don't know what else it could be

Get someone to help you. One of you hold him securely while the other one looks him over thoroughly.

Wrap him in a towel to hold his wings, give him a good going over including inside his beak and throat. Check him every where, separate feathers, under wings, feet, legs, crop, etc. if you can post a video to youtube and put the link here it might be helpful to see what he's doing.

My heart is breaking for him too. Sounds so sad. Can you take him to a vet? Sounds like he could have something really hurting.
