its genuinely infuriating at this point and i have considered culling this chick multiple times. i keep the brooder in my room as i have no other place to put it. this chick is 1.5 weeks old. it didnt do this the first few days but then i picked it up ONCE and now it cries until im right in front of it. if i leave for work, it cries and disturbs everyone whos sleeping in the house. if i leave to use the bathroom it screams until i walk back in the door. if i sit on my bed it just stares at me from the brooder and cries SO LOUDLY. which also means i cant sleep because if i try to lie down it just cries. i lower the lights gradually and all the other chicks its with go to bed just fine with no peeping at all.
it has fresh food, fresh water. the heatplate is the right height and it has places in the brooder to cool down, it literally just chirps because im not close enough. and it is a deafening distress chirp. i genuinely dont know how such a small creature can make such a loud sound. how do i get it to calm down???? im going insane.
