English term or phrase: Non-starter chick
Could you help me, please?
COuld it be a chick that has a little chance to survive after the eclosion?

***The chicks have optimal thermoregulatory development and there are no non starter chicks to support.***

Thanks in advance!

Spanish translation:Con pocas posibilidades de sobrevivir
Explanation:
Hola Marta, fíjate en que la frase dice "no nonstarter chicks", es decir, la idea es que "no las hay con pocas posibilidades de sobrevivir" o "que sobrevivirán fácilmente"

Según la definición del Merriam-Webster
Nonstarter:
: someone or something that will not be effective or successful.
Un saludo.
