All chicks should be fed a diet that is nutritionally sound. To make sure the chick gets adequate calories and nutrients, go to a feed store to purchase chick crumbles. At most feed stores they can guarantee that their feed does NOT have any additional antibiotics, hormones, etc. If they can't, and they can't tell you where to go to find the food you prefer, then check with the local extension agent. He will find you the perfect feed for your requirements.

What do people do with male chicks?
Male chicks are often culled after hatching in the egg industry because they do not lay eggs and are not suitable for meat production due to their slower growth rate compared to specialized broiler chickens. Some male chicks may be used for animal feed, pet food, or composting. Alternatives to culling, such as sexing techniques before hatching or using them for alternative purposes, are being explored by some farms.
After a egg has hatch do you remove the male parakeet if it is pecking the baby parakeet?
Yes you do if the male is being violent to the chicks. Especially if the female is being disturbed by the male or trying to defend the chicks. Get the female together though in the male's cage once and awhile so the couple will not forget about eachother, but do that a few days, (maybe 2 weeks) after the chicks have hatched. Depends on the age of the chicks. If they are out of the nest, pecking at them is natures way of weaning them to eat on their own. If they are very young, I would put male in a cage setup right next to the female, so he can continue to feed her through the bars. The female depends a lot on the male after the chicks are hatched.
