The Phantom Chirp

[coopintheburbs]

The past 5 days have been amazing, caring for our new chicks. The past four nights, however, were spent getting up every hour checking for the source of a distressed chirp only to find there was none!

The phantom chirp is haunting us, hard. At one point my husband just stayed in the brooder room while I tried to sleep but I could swear I heard multiple chirps! When I got up to help him out he said they were silent the whole time u_____u;;;

My husband and I are taking turns checking on the chicks and feeling like crazy people. It's even gone as far as hearing them in the car, on the highway going 70mph, with the windows rolled up

What's your craziest phantom chirp story?

You sound a lot like a first-time parent (and I mean that as a compliment!).

We are

So far we've heard phantom chirps, worried over chicks that just turned out to be daysnoozing, and gone from intending to eat a few to finding the idea unbearabley sad.

As we have no little'uns of our own we're forsure way overprotective with no signs of slowing down.
