Key Points

On-farm hatching combined with adult hen contact post-hatch induces sex-dependent effects on growth performance, health markers, and overall robustness in broiler chickens.
Comparative assessment between conventional hatching systems and on-farm environments demonstrates divergent physiological responses across male and female broiler chickens.
Findings highlight the profound influence of maternal contact and early hatching environments on poultry welfare, supporting refined management strategies for broiler chickens.
