Peeps, Cheeps, & Bedtime Trills

This is a short compilation of pre and post bedtime for the chicks.  We are lowering the lighting trying to get them prepared for sleeping, but just like children, the chicks will try to grab everything they can before being made to go to bed. Make note of the sounds.  Before it gets dark, they are happy and even making a few trills of joy. After it goes dark, we have 59 distressed cheeps all at once.  They will scramble towards the other cheeps and pile on each other, crushing some in the bottom of the pile. So it is important to sweep through the brooder to guide the chicks back over to their warmer and tuck them under until all are happy and satisfied, once again.
