Eggs hatching, need advise.

Last night after having one of the babies fall down ( he didn't hurt himself) I made a nice bed of straw on the ground and moved everybody down. Bitty (momma hen) kept wanting to take them up to I blocked the entrance. Everything seems fine now. This morning she took them all to eat. I havn't seen her showing them how to drink really. Will the chicks figure it out on their own?
 
If momma hen drinks they will learn too as they mimic momma, They've got to have been drinking or they would have died of dehydration.
 
Here are the promised pics. Aren't they cute?
