When you first get your chicks you will have to place their beaks in the water until they take a drink, usually only a second or two. After their first drink wait 2-3 hours to feed them.

Chicks 101
Our particular chicks will need to be kept at a temperature of 90-95° for the first week. The temperature shall be reduced by 5° each week until a temperature of 75° is reached. Place the thermometer on the shavings directly below the heat lamp.
