They'll need somewhere to sleep (such as an old aquarium or indoor rabbit cage) and a heat lamp! Check your local feedstores or anywhere else you'd find chicken or poultry supplies and try to get your hands on some chick starter (feed special for baby chicks) and put that in a dish for them. Try to keep treats to an extreme minimum until they're 3-4+ weeks old, as chicks they may have a harder time digesting treats like oatmeal or fruits & veggies. For their water dish make sure they can't drown, which is usually done by putting marbles or such in there, so they can still drink just not really get into the water! (also no cold water at this age! room temp so they don't get chilled!)

As for bedding, a lot of people use paper towels or old scrap fabric towels at that age, or you can put them straight onto shavings (also found at a feedstore, or petstores!)
