New hatchlings

I have 3 day old babies and i have heard they get quite noisy durring feeding time how soon does this take? The nest is impossible to see into and i can only tell the babies are there by watching closely for the hen to come out and eat, dad then feeds babies while mom bolts food as fast as she can.

Hi,

You didn’t mention what species you have? Some species are louder than others. But if the parents seem to be caring for them, then everything is probably fine. It’s best not to interfere. You may or may not hear the chicks.

Thank you for asking Lafeber,
