HELP! MY CHICK IS A MOMMAS BOY

[Cutechickensforever]

HELP!! I am raising 3 baby chickens!! One of my chicks won’t stop chirping if im not holding him or if im not near him! The other two don’t chirp as much but he is not letting me sleep! I’m worried I might be doing something wrong!!! I really love them so I hope it’s not because they are missing something!

Put it back with the others and ignore it.
It may be cold, what are your brooder temperatures?

It’s around 76 F!! They are around 3 weeks old. Is this a good temperature for them? Thank you for responding!

You're welcome. Most people lower 5 degrees a week, starting at 90, so your temp is good for the night but might be a tad warm for the day.
Here's a lot of good info on needy chicks. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/nonstop-crying.1512814/
