Let me start off by saying I really do adore my new chicks. But I am so tired.
I got my new chicks on Friday. They are sleeping mostly during the days and totally awake during the night making all kind of peeping noises. Friday night was not to bad, Sat just a little worse.
But last night was the worst they was peeping from the time my husband and I went to bed which was 10 pm until around 6 am this morning.
My husband says we have to move them out of our master bathroom. He said he don't care where. But they are not staying in there another night. I'm thinking about moving them to the other bathroom.
But I am also worried they will be keeping the kids awake.
So I have no clue what to do. We can not be losing sleep. I start babysitting my nephew tomorrow and will have get up at 4 am. So I really, really need get all the sleep I can and so does my husband.
He works full time so there is no way he could take a nap during the day.
I guess my question is how in the world can I make them stay awake more during the day and less during the night?? I do not remember my 5 week old pullets making this much noise at night.
