worms and dirt and other bugs also In most cases a chick needs a balanced diet to provide vitamins and minerals needed for healthy growth. A commercial chick starter is best as it is very difficult to make your own balanced feed correctly. Any feed supply store can provide this "MASH"called "chick starter". To start the day old chick the fine mash is used and then a courser version of the same mash is added over a few weeks to get them used to the large feed they will eventually be given. Bugs and worms, plants etc. are fine for the chick once it starts exploring the farmyard but they should be fed the proper diet early in the morning before they wander. Just like little children they will eat the best stuff first if you let them and it is not always the best for proper nutrition. Chick starter comes in Medicated (to protect them from certain diseases ) and non medicated varieties (for the organic farmers).

How vultures give their chicks food to eat?

Vultures feed their chicks through a process called regurgitation. Adult vultures consume carrion, digest it partially, and then return to the nest to regurgitate the partially digested food for their chicks. This method allows the chicks to receive essential nutrients from decomposed meat, which is vital for their growth and development. The parents will continue this feeding process until the chicks are old enough to eat solid food on their own.
