That looks like her daddy, Claude...

She moving all over the incubator and peeping!

WHEN do we have to offer her food and water? And I KNOW it has to be NON MEDICATED.

She doesn't need any food right now you have to give her/him 24 hours to at least fluff up but for her she won't until the next cleaning, remember you still have to get all that gooy stuff off.

They can survive up to three days without any food or water, they get allll there protein and nutrients with the yok, that why it's soooooo important to make sure they have fully absorbed..

That's what they said however I have giving my ducks medicated and they turned out just find. It's the only thing I had in hand at the time...

Do I wait three days to even offer her food or water?

No I was just saying she could go that long, but you will offer her food and water after the 24 hours. She needs to be up and on her feet before you can offer her anything.
