Does a freshly hatched chicken have the exact same nutritional content as an unfertilized egg?

I know, a very strange question and no I don't plan on eating any chicks. It seems like a chick should have more calories, protein and a variety of other vitamins. But it can only develop from the same stuff that's in the unfertilized egg so it should be nutritionally equal?

While it is true that a chick grows from what is provided in the egg, to say they are nutritionally the same is like saying that a pile of building materials is the same as a house. The chick will be much more complex than the original contents of the egg. There will be much more nucleic acid, protein and a lot less fat and carbohydrates. The reason this can happen is that living things can create complex organic molecules out of simpler ones, such as those provided in the egg.
