One-day-old chicks are tiny, fluffy, and incredibly delicate creatures that require gentle care and a nurturing environment to thrive. These newly hatched chicks are typically covered in soft down feathers and weigh just a few grams. They are highly dependent on warmth, food, and water to survive, as they are unable to regulate their body temperature or fend for themselves. At this stage, their primary focus is eating chick starter feed, drinking water, and staying warm under a heat source like a lamp or brooder plate. One-day-old chicks are full of curiosity, constantly chirping and exploring their surroundings.
