My baby Rhode Island Red chicks are very loud when I leave them. Is it important to give them a lot of attention or no

Hi and welcome to BYC - thanks for joining us. It can certainly help the bonding process if you spend time with them, but they will soon become accustomed to not feeling the need of your presence as they get older.

Chicks learn quickly how to get humans appear. They can be spoiled by too much attention. If you know they are not too hot or cold, by their behavior. If they have all eaten well, they don't need to be checked or reassured often. If you are using a red bulb in your brooder that may calm them. A white bulb confuses them about what is day and what is night & goofs up their sleep cycles.

Welcome!

As you have already received some good advice and links, I will just wish you and your little ones all the best.

I hope you enjoy being a BYC member. There are lots of friendly and very helpful folks here so not only is it overflowing with useful information it is also a great place to make friends and have some fun. Unlike non chicken loving friends, family and colleagues, BYC’ers never tire of stories or pictures that feature our feathered and non feathered friends
