Here's some more information on how to raise baby chicks from day 1 to four weeks
Instructions
One Day to Four Weeks Old
1
To teach chicks about feed, put a piece of newspaper under feeder, sprinkle a commercial feed on paper and fill the feeder the first day you get your chicks.
2
Sprinkle baby grit on feed after the third day. Sprinkle lightly, as if you were salting your food.

3
Dip each chick's beak into water before you place it in the cage. A 1-gallon chick waterer will water 50 birds.
4
Provide a heat source (a light bulb) for chicks. Use one 250-watt bulb for 50 chicks in cold weather and one bulb for 100 chicks in warm weather.
5
Place the light bulb about 18 inches above the floor.
6
Leave room in the cage for chicks to get away from heat if it gets too hot for them.
7
Maintain a temperature of 90 to 95 degrees F the first week; reduce by several degrees each week until you get to 70 degrees F.
8
Place cardboard or empty feed sacks around the outside of the cage for a while to keep cool air from blowing on chicks.
9
Place an inch of wood shavings, rice hulls or ground cobs on the bottom of the cage.
10
Provide six square inches (1/2 foot) of space for each bird.
