Is it normal for new chicks not to eat yet?

[Machoman6666]

I purchased one-week old chicks from a feed store yesterday at around 3pm and as of now, they won't eat or drink. They are just huddled in a corner because they are scared. Will they eventually start eating, or will they starve themselves to death?
