Best Answer

Chicks get nourishment before they hatch from the egg from the egg white and the yolk, which is absorbed into the chick's stomach just prior to hatching.

How do chicks survive mailing?

Live shipping of day old chicks is done all the time. For up to 72 hours after they hatch the chicks are still ingesting their yolk sacs. This provides them all the nourishment they need. Chicks do not require food or even water for this period in their lives and survive quite well. Heat is the usual problem. Most hatcheries will only ship in batches as the more chicks shipped the greater the body heat provided.

No. A broody hen will hatch a brood of chicks the way nature intended. Incubators or a brood hen are the only two ways to get chicks, egg won't hatch into chicks without the proper conditions of heat and humidity for 21 days.
