This is a very older thread but i wish i knew these before i began. I went head on without knowing all these particulars i thought it was easy as chickens or whatever. I hatched 130 eggs and in the next morning more than 60 chicks were dead, a day later about 20 were dead now i read this post and i see my mistakes, i gave them feed but it was ungrinded so they probably had hard tine eating, and i noticed some chicks weren't eating at all and i had no solution for that.... And i had set the light bulb probably higher so they weren't getting enough heat.
