i got them from a feed store since they were ony a day old. I use a brooder heat lamp. They have plenty of space to move around and food and water. So i guess they just dont like being alone and are a little attached. ^.^
Do you have a thermometer under the heat lamp? Are all the chicks crowding under it or on the other side of the box? Have they drank and water and/or ate any food?
Yes i have a thermometer, I just have two chick's and they rarely go under the lamp anymore because they have lots of feathers now and hardly any down. They eat and drink regularly.
What is the temp? All sounds good! Do they still chirp?
no, they stop after a while of being left alone. I think they just like the attention. Im the only one who gets down to their level to feed and pet them.
Ok that's good! Temp should be around 95 degrees Fahrenheit for the first week or two, then down 5 degrees every week after that.
Because you just have two together alone, they will be more attached to you. My five call for me if they hear me in another room. But I'm cultivateating that close relationship. If possible consider getting chicks 3 at a time if your going to be more hands off.
