it doesnt need to but its good to have it available when you put it in the bruter so it know where everything is at and if y that the you think the food is too big or you cant get to food you can hard boil eggs and just give them crushed up yolk but if they were hatched by a hen then its best to keep them with the mama unless their getting eaten
Nothing is going to happen. They usually don't want to eat the first 24 hours because they are so tired from hatching but when they are ready to eat they will. There should be food available to the chick as soon as it hatches.
When a kiwi chick first hatches, it initially feeds on a yolk sac from the egg. This is mostly absorbed after a couple of days. The chick then begins to feed on small invertebrates and insect larvae, fruit, seeds and fungi.
1. If no rooster is present, then there is no way the egg will be fertilised, so it will not have a chick in it. 2. If the egg is freshly laid, and removed immediately and refrigerated, it will not have a chick in it.
it depends on the chick
