What can baby chicks eat in an emergency?
If you have medicated chick feed, that would be the best, of course, but if you don't have anything else you can feed them hard-boiled egg. Chicks love it (mostly as a treat) and will eat it right up. Mash it up really good because if they can tell it's an egg, then when they grow up and start laying then they'll break their own eggs and eat them.

Do chicks eat their shells?
All the food the baby bird needs is in the egg, especially in the yolk. The egg starts with a very small germinating chick and a large yolk. Inside the egg, the chick absorbs the proteins, fats and other nutrients from the yolk for growth and development. Meanwhile the yolk shrinks. At hatching a baby chicken has a small portion of the yolk inside their body as a reserve. That reserve gives the baby chicken time to learn what to eat outside the egg.
