I have three 1 week old chicks, everything was fine until yesterday when one of them just started screaming like a I'm cold or something is wrong scream. So I put turned up the brooder heater and waited. But she wouldn't stop! And she did it ALL yesterday and and is doing it again! We have tried everything, no heat , heat , more food, letting her out to play, music, turning off all the lights, snuggling ETC. But NOTHING will work, and when I pick her up she just screams louder. She is eating, drinking , running around , playing with the others. But she won't sleep and when she is doing all this she screams!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH HER?? It is almost impossible to get anything done because she won't be quiet!! None of the other are doing this!!
 
Even if you hold her and calm her, she screams? That might be a neurological problem, if nothing helps. Can you get her drinking some electrolytes and some food? Poultry NutriDrench given orally a drop or two daily might help. Look her over to see if she has anything in her eyes, stuck on poop, footpad cuts or cracks, or hairs wrapped around a leg cutting off circulation.
