Day-Old Chicken Chicks from Mexico
Day-old chicken chicks are layer chicks hatched for egg production farms. They are live fowls of the species Gallus domesticus, which are not ducks, geese, turkeys, or guinea fowls, and therefore fall under the 'Other' category of heading 01.05. These chicks are imported for commercial egg production, not for immediate slaughter.
