Squealing baby chick

[Kjjklife]

I have 10 chicks that very from 3 to 2 weeks old. They've all been doing great but noticed that one today has began squealing and throwing her head back to rub her wings. When looking at her wings I did notice multiple pin feathers coning in. Is her reaction normal or should I be worried?

I think you may have a precocious cockerel and the "squealing" is first attempts to crow. Yes, a male chick can muster a squeaky crow at this young age. Time will tell.

But if this chick is behaving normally, all these quirks are normal.

If you think the behavior is abnormal, and are worried, or if the behavior is affecting the chicks ability to eat, drink and move around, if you can get a video and post it here, it would be very helpful. It's much easier to assess with a video than with a verbal description.
