chick has dried out completely and is fluffy, you can lightly tap your finger in the water and it should instinctly know how to drink. i also hold the chick whilst dipping it's beak into the water as soon as its ready to be moved into the incubator. If you are hatching via broody hens, dont worry, the mother will teach its chicks to drink! hope this helps
