Up to about 4 to 6 weeks old it is best to keep chicks on chick grower. Grower is made small so tiny beaks can handle the food. Adult bird feed is often too large to swallow.

Normally new chicks are given a starter feed which is a finely ground mixture of grains. Chicks often cannot eat the larger sized grains in sufficient quantity for proper nutrition so the mix is ground, moisture added, extruded and dried as a starter/builder feed called a "mash". This food can come with extra vitamins and medication added when requested. Ask for chick starter at any feed & grain store.
I have recently just hatched a dozen baby chicks. Agricultural stores usually sell a feed called start and grow. It looks like crumbs. If you can't find that you should feed them oatmeal, cracked corn, or wheat.
No, hens do not typically feed baby turkeys. Turkeys have specific nutritional needs and usually receive specialized feed to ensure proper growth and development.
You should go to your local feed store and ask for feed for chicks. After you get the food and feed it to your chicks, it helps to add a little water to it to make thhe food mushy, it will be easier for the chicks to eat it that way.

No, cassowaries do not feed their chicks milk. Unlike mammals, cassowaries are birds, and they do not produce milk. Instead, cassowary chicks are fed a diet of fruits, seeds, and small insects, which they find in their natural habitat. The mother cassowary provides protection and guidance to her chicks as they forage for food.
You need to keep back chicks constantly feed and watered use a starter waterer and feeder they need starter feed not regular and if u do that u will have very healthy chicks
If the chicks are not hungry (meaning someone already fed them), you can still just click on them and it will groom them.
