Take each and dip their beak in the water. What is on the floor for bedding? I like to start them with paper towels and sprinkle chick starter on it. They will instinctively peck at what is at their feet.
Good job on providing a warm spot and lots of cool space. That's what a mother hen does.
Congratulations on a successful hatch.

That's usually when they spent too much time trying to get out of the egg. The toes are clenched trying to push against the shell. If you want to spend a lot of time on them, you can usually straighten the toes by taping them straight.

If the floor is ok, they miiight straighten the toes themselves... Might.. in any case it is recoverable.
@Motherhen1165 are they drinking water now?
