There would be no way to predict the outcome of this experiment.
Too many factors can influence the outcome.
Breed often determines hatch rate. Temperature and humidity of incubator. (number of times incubator is opened). Age of viable eggs before incubation.
All this will effect the hatch rate.
you need to take the chicks away it wont be long before the mama takes the ducklings into water and the chicks will not survive
It needs warmth from its mother or you have to buy a heat lamp.
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.
Because.. In 1982, the salt concentration in Mono Lake was making it hard for Algae and Brine flies and these changes affected the California Gulls. Cayotes and Foxes would walk in and eats the eggs and chicks. Because the predators and the lack of food, the California gulls did not raise any chicks that year. hoped this helped! ( I had this in my science question I found this really hard!)
can chicks survive in the incubator overnight after they hatch
When the chicks are six to seven months old the parents stop feeding them.
Probably not. They need to be born in an incubator and they will have to get used to the normal temperature and that can be a struggle. I wouldn't risk it.
The mother peacock guards her chicks and they stay with the peahen for up to a year.
Bluebirds normally deliver their young in the form of an egg. Should the brood survive incubation, they hatch; becoming hatchlings, then chicks. Then if they survive further, they become fledglings.
Bird hatchlings are all called chicks. The chicks of domestic fowl: ducks, geese and chickens are hatched "precocious" meaning that they can walk and feed themselves immediately after. They are not likely to survive in the wild without the mother to tend to them until they are fully fledged.

For the most part...yes..I mean unless there are no complications with the chicks...if the parents feel that the chick is ill or will not survive..they will EXPOSE of it....and later on when the chicks are TEENS...the parents will began to throw them out...lol
