B
Young females have high immune response.
C

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Chicken antibodies are produced by immunization of laying hens and subsequently purification of IgY from the egg yolk. As described more than 100 years ago, avian maternal antibodies are transferred from serum to egg yolk to confer passive immunity to embryos and neonates.

Detailed explanation-2: -The answer to that question is a resounding YES! Eggs are an excellent source of protein and make a great treat for chickens. The egg white contains more than half of the egg’s protein and none of the fat. The yolk contains all of the fat and most of the egg’s vitamins.
