Chirping
I need help! I have two chicks both 5 days old. The past two days around 7pm onwards the bigger of the two starts cheeping his head off. So loud I can hear him from downstairs over the tv.
I’ve made sure they have eaten (constant supply of food) and they have clean water. I’ve raised the brooder plate. Lowered it. Tilted it. Poo is normal and often. Other chick doesn’t do it just this one. He doesn’t do it during the day just the evening. They have a teddy in there which they play on quite a lot and snuggle with. The room is warm no drafts. I’m up and down the stairs every 10 mins trying to figure out what’s wrong but I just can’t seem to get it right.
I don’t know what else I can do. He stops as soon as I go up so is it just cos I’m not there?
I feel they bad don’t have a mummy but I don’t know how to help!!
