Nervous for arrival for my first chicks ever! Help!

Aww! I just wanna pinch them! Gentle little chickie pinches of course!

Hey Siri, just wanted to give you an update. My order from Ideal came a day early and I just picked them up a little while ago. They were all alive and chirping, including the extra males they sent, I was pleasantly surprised they all made it. They have been in their pen for about 45 min now and seem to be doing well. I dipped each of their beaks in the water bowl as I was transferring each one from shipping box to brooder. I have a feed bowl but I also spread some feed over the paper towels and I let them peck out of my hand for a bit too. At this point they have all found the food and water and are getting used to their new environment.
