1. Have you feed it???? Is it being picked on by the others????
2. Oh leave them alone they have alot to say. LOL! Maybe they are hungry or happy. Or maybe they are calling out to their mommy. At any rate theres no way to calm them down, just enjoy them instead of get annoyed with them, they don't know any better.
3. Baby chicks will chirp even when they have companions, though this is very normal. They will also chirp excessively loud and constantly when they are alone.This is a locater chirp it is making. It is calling out to other chicks as if to say hey where is everyone and why am I alone for an example. Putting a second chick in with it won't stop the chirping but they chirp much much much quieter. They will chirp so they know where each other is. Gooduck.xx
4. put a little teddy in there , the smell from the other chicks will be on it and when they leave her she'll snuggle that thinking she's not alone .. worked for me,,
