silly question but.....

I had 2 broody hens who both hatched out 1 chick, one chick is 2 days old and the other one was born yesterday morning,i was just wondering do the hens teach the chicks to drink? please answer if you know, will put my mind to rest

The mother hens will lead to the chicks to a water source (plastic waterer, small puddle etc....) and allow them to drink. It would be better to provide the hens with a water source that is clearly visible to them
P.S.-Just a little non-related advice, it is a good idea to add more cracked corn to their feed so they develop warm brood pouches on their breast to keep the chicks warm!
