This produce is produced by all companies that supply feed and grains to livestock and is readily available in all country feed and grain store all year long. Chick starter come in medicated , regular and often organic varieties and is just the right size and shape for even the smallest chicks to eat and digest.

Chicks absorb the yolk before hatching; they have enough nutrients via the yolk to last for 48 hours. DO NOT REMOVE the chicks from the incubator until they are fully dry, and the whole clutch has finished hatching.
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.
Chicks can lastfor 3 days after hatching without food, becausethey are still living off the yolks,but they usually eat before that.

Yes, they do. It's bad for the chick to induce hatching yourself.
Hatching is the process in which baby birds (called chicks) come out of the egg they are born in. The chicks have an egg tooth that they use to break out of the egg. Once the chick has broken the eggshell, its egg tooth will fall off. I hope this helps!
