      Usually once the chicks dry out in the incubator, you go ahead and move them to a box or brooder if you have one. After a day or so, the chicks will want to eat and drink. Start the chicks on a good quality chick starter food. And the water dish needs to be shallow so the chicks don't drown. Make sure you keep a light on them so they don't get cold. Once they start to feather out some, you can cut the light back some.
