My hen is hatching chicks. When should I introduce the food and water? There is one so far going on 24hrs old. This is the first time I've had babies this young. I usually get them from Tractor Supply.

we have two chicks that are about 7 weeks old I've already had to retrieve one that jumped out of the brooding box and flew about 12 feet. anyways the question is I know traditionally farmers used to thin out their carrots and radishes and just throw them to the birds. we have a bunch of radishes that need to be thinned can I give them to the chicks being almost ready to outside.
