Open the hood and jiggle the battery cables. And smack the alternator a few times.
I have seen alot of times the cable connection sometimes loosens up, or may not have been tight enough when changed.
Another problem is the battery connection. GM uses a little bolt to hold the cable on. Sometimes it strips, or is dirty
And sometimes the brushes in the alternator get dust in them. They are spring loaded, and sometimes need a little persuasion.
Let me know if it helps.

I'm in the middle of a panic attack. My truck has been a little twitchy lately, we replaced the battery, thinking it was that-but it's still been idling REALLY low. Well, this morning, I dropped my oldest son at Football practice and came home for the hour he had this morning. Well, my truck is DEAD. Completely dead, no clicks, nothing. I'm losing it, because he is probably sitting there, in the rain, while everyone leaves, and he doesn't have a phone (his drowned last year, and my husband decided nobody really needs a phone) so I can't call him to let him know to walk. He might have gotten a ride, if I had been able to call him.

I'm going to have to have the truck towed now to the shop in Ronkonkoma, we were on the way to drop it the other day, and my husband decided it was definitely the battery, and we didn't need to take it in. I'm freaking out. Now, it just started thundering. Really?

Ugh. Why doesn't he CALL ME?? His coach is there, and could let him use his phone. Yeah, I'm losing it. 

Call the coach.....Can I go get him I can leave I'm in East islip

That's what I told my husband last week! Now I'm hearing hail is coming too.

Yup...that or a bad belt someplace.
Isn't there a building your son can take cover in if it hails. Won't the coach take him in?

Even if you can't keep them at least give them some food and water so we can adopt them out.
They are from Meyer hatchery, "brown egg layers"
