Just get them some laying crumble, make sure they have water and that they are safe from predators and they should do fine. You might want to check them for mites since you just got them. Look under their wings and near the vent, that is where you can usually see them best.Good Luck and

If they are still young you need chick starter not layer crumbles that is for when they start laying eggs. You need a heat lamp for them. How old are they? depending on how old they are you will need to adjust the temp. it's 95 degrees when they first hatch for ohh a week then drop by 5 degrees every week until they are feathered out. feed and water them everyday and they should be just fine

An aquarium can get real hot so be careful. It could turn into a sauna.

They are currently about two weeks old and I know about the 95 to 70 degrees minus 5 a week and to make sure they dont get hot their roof is medal like an screen door
