new babies eating and drinking

[kjt135]

Hi all,
I'm new, 1st hatch yesterday, anyway I haven't seen the babies eat or drink since they have been in brooder so I forced them to drink a couple drops of water from eye dropper today. My question is how long before I should be worried that they aren't eating or drinking.? Another question I just thought of they don't seem to be pooping like the ones I bought at TSC earlier, I guess if they don't eat or drink they won't correct? Most if not all did go in the incubator once before moved if that makes any difference. Any thoughts and help would be a great help. Thanks Karen

if they are only 24 hours old they are probably still using up the yolk sac. Just keep dipping there beaks in the water so they know where to find it!
What are you using for bedding?
