Loud is not such a good thing depending on the quality of the noise. Loud with a harsh edge to it usually means that something's wrong. They're most likely either too cold, or scared. Putting something over the tub to trap the warmth and make it seem less like they're out in the open may help - like the box idea I mentioned above. A thermometer near them should be reading about 92F when they're needing nap time for at least the first 5 days. The area they're running around in eating and drinking doesn't have to read quite that high, although it should be close because they don't have a mother to call them to nap time.Rachel Lindsay wrote:....and being loud. We're gonna have to block under our bedroom doors with a towel at night so we can sleep, ha!

Drink a quart of water in 24 hours Have begun trying to use their wings (flapping and such) Play with each other Take dust baths Have different voices developing Jump on and off things They are so different than they were when they first arrived! They have figured out that they are birds and they are acting like mini-hens. Ha!
P.S. Our Mystery Chick is going to be either a Buff Orpington or a White Leghorn, and almost certainly male.

My hardware cloth (which is a type of wire mesh, not fabric) lids are secure enough that a young cat wouldn't get in, but they are also designed so as to be able to add a bungee cord if necessary.Rachel Lindsay wrote:

Nope. Not how I see it. The newborn phase is the easy one, and they only need more from there.
I have found it to be the same with these chicks, who turn four weeks old tomorrow. The first week was the easy one!
