Kiwi chicks are able to survive independently of their parents within a few days of hatching. Although both the male and female kiwi incubate the egg, neither parent really tends the chick after it hatches. The chick hatches with its eyes fully open. Initially, it feeds on a yolk sac which also prevents the baby chick from moving about the nest, but this is mostly absorbed after a couple of days. The chick then begins to feed on tiny pebbles and twigs which are stored in its gizzard to help with food digestion once it starts eating real food. Depending on the species, chicks are old enough to leave the parents' territory when they are 4-6 weeks old. (Southern Tokoeka may stay with the parent for up to 5 years.) Unlike their nocturnal parents, the chicks feed both day and night, making them more susceptible to predators, and it is believed tgat aroubd 95% if chicks do not survive past the first six months.
