Moved to a larger brooder and now they won't quiet down!

[LemonberryMoon]

We moved our seven (week old) babies from a medium aquarium to a large dog kennel for their brooder. But now they are being SO noisy! They will not quiet down!

Usually it's just Click (one of the Welsummers) that gets everyone wound up and as soon as I remove her she falls asleep on me and they all quiet down. But now it's everyone.

Every time I go over to see what's up they all come to the door and stick their little heads out. If I hold them they quiet down and go to sleep, but I can't hold all seven! Temp is fine, bedding clean, food and water are good..... what's their deal? Have I spoiled them already?

We did feed them some live mealworms today and they went NUTS for them. Are they asking for more or are their little tummies wiggling?

Chicks are loud they are noisy just have to deal with it. I have 8 3-2 week olds they are still loud. they are only quite when they sleep.
