A hatchling is the newborn of animals that develop and emerge from within hard-shell eggs. The offspring of birds and reptiles are often hatched naked and with their eyes closed. The hatchling relies totally on its parents for feeding and warmth. Hatchlings precede nestlings in the chick's life cycle.
