My EE chick has been making a really loud almost raspy sounding peep? Should I be concerned? She’s around 5 weeks old, she doesn’t make this sound all the time, once I come see her she tends to stop, it doesn’t seem to be her breathing, no sneezing/coughing noises, normal poop, eating, drinking, not lethargic. Seems totally normal it just sounds weird, and it’s loud lol

She could just be a loud one. It happens. Could it be discomfort from the lamp? Have you tried putting her in another place to see if she makes the same sound?
 
They're Too old for the heat lamp now, time to wean.
Can you get a picture of the chick without the red light?
Okay! I wasn’t sure when exactly to turn it off, it’s usually around 78° in the cage. Yes! This is a picture of her from yesterday

If I take her out she doesn’t make the sound, I’ll try turning the lamp off to see if that helps 🙂
