They need to have access to food within 6-8 hours of hatching. Small piles of food scattered around helps them find it. They should have a full crop in 12 hours. 3 days later give chick grit.

The best way to handle a weak chick is personal choice, but I recommend never breeding it. I have noticed far too much weakness being bread into chickens lately; they are lighter, smaller bone structure, prone to illness, and lay smaller eggs. These larger hatcheries do not give a crap about bloodlines and the volume breeding weakens the entire species over time. I'm working on fixing the Buff Orpington in the US, which is a pale shadow of what it once was. These birds should be 6 to 8lbs for hens and 10+ for roos but they are HALF that weight in the US. It's no longer a dual purpose bird here.
