Chirping
Are they happy and content? They were just chillin/sleeping (?) under the warming plate but I thought maybe it was not low enough, I stuck a thermometer down there and it shows 82
These are 1 week old chicks from Tractor Supply
When I went in to mess with the plate to put it at an angle (as so many of you here suggested) they perked right up and zoomed over to pile up in a corner, but still no big cheeps or squawking of alarm. I talk to them constantly in a reassuring tone.
Just haven't been around chicks since I was a girl and I want them happy, so if they are quiet, hanging around the warming plate, is that ok?
Next steps right now; I'm going to put a camera on them! haha
