Baby chicks don't squawk. They can emit a piercing, shrill screech if startled. Rapid loud peeping indicates distress - too cold, hungry, pain, loneliness.

Check on whether the brooder heat source is adjusted properly. Be sure the chick can access the food and water. Feel its crop to be sure it's eating. Is it a lone chick? If so, it will be in distress because it needs other chicks for its well being.

Hi, sorry squawking was only way I could think to describe it, brooder is all good it's with 5 other babies 4 born same-day or day before and two a week old all the others are fine, just this one keeps making noise pretty much all the time and doesn't hold its own weight eg will not stand and walk ect

I'm still trying to understand how this chick is behaving. Please try to bear with me here.

-Is it eating and drinking?
-Is its crop full or flat. Please feel its chest wall slightly to the right (it's right side)
-Is it pooping?
-Is it chirping loudly, rapidly, constantly?
-Is it moving about at all?
-Are its eyes droopy?
-Is it standing under the heat source all the time?

Only drinking little bits if I put water in syringe ,
Feels full
Yep it pooed around half hour ago
Doesn't move
Eyes not droopy
And yes stays under brooder unless we take it out, (which have been to offer food and water)
I would attach a video if I could but I won't let me,

Post your video to YouTube first, then copy the URL and past it here. It will embed automatically and we can then view it.

I've popped them on you tube hope I did it correct as you can see in videos she/he is alert and has little to no function of the legs, any help is much appreciated

I had a chick I named "Little Figaro" he was all fine but one day I had him, his sisters and his brother when he started to make this noise, I tried a lot of things that day because I knew it wasn't a good sign and I was right even though everything I tried I could he died in the end.
This was him below

Do you have any poultry nutri-drench? I would give her 2-3 drops twice a day.

You've never seen her walk?
Do you think she can see?
