Hi,
I'm a teenager (16) raising 4 chicks. I have a Easter Egger, a Golden sex link, a Australorp and a Salmon Faverolle. I got 3 from the same place and time. I got the salmon faverolle a week later somewhere else (that might be important). In September I lose my last 3 chickens to raccoons so the circle of chicken life isn't new to me.
The problem
My chicks for the most part never stop yelling as if something is very wrong. They have clean water, food, there box is 2.5 x 3.2, I spend time with each one every day , access to heating lame and shade. Plus I give them some meal warms and fruit every day. It dose seems like they pick on the faverolle a little more then the others but its not that bad. I feel like everything should be fine and they should only be giving me happy soft cheeps. I'm siting next to them as I type this and one is yelling at me. More like she is sad or wants help. The others aren't even messing with her PLUS SHES FALLING ASLEEP DOING IT?!? THEY ARE CUTE AND ALL BUT THAT REALLY RUFFLES MY FEATHERS! They all do this at some point. I don't know whats wrong and I don't know what I can do to help. If you could help me you'd be a big help to my sanity. I love all animals and its hard to watch them be upset.
Thank you for your time,
