unhatched chickens eat/obsorb the yoke as food until they hatch out,all the nutrient minerals needed are in the yoke sack and it is absorbed through the stomache about where a chooks bellybutton would be.
They eat, or absorb, the yolk of the egg.
From the eggs we eat, there are chicks inside the egg. (the yellow part) Believe it or not, sometimes there are two chicks in one egg! One time my brother opened a hard boiled egg that had two small yellow circles.
They actually eat the yolk of the egg to grow and to hatch. After hatching they do not need food for a few days.
Chicks are typically produced through the fertilization of a hen's egg by a rooster. During mating, the rooster transfers sperm into the hen's reproductive tract, which then fertilizes the egg. The fertilized egg is then laid by the hen and incubated until the chick hatches.
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.
Does It Matter? but there are little holes in the egg
you hatch eggs to grow the chicks into chickens for their meat and eggs to eat
The mass of a chicken egg decreases as the chick develops because the developing chick utilizes the nutrients stored in the egg for growth and development. As the chick grows, it consumes the egg white and yolk, which results in a reduction in the overall mass of the egg.
You eat Chinese egg rolls during the Chinese New year.
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.

no
Yes, they must since the chicks have only what is in the egg to grow and develop from. Most likely you could eat them as well.
