I am pretty sure (because I own many) all you have to do is put them under a heat lamp in a fish tank (with no water).
Good Luck!

How should you treat your first baby chick without an adult?
You keep your baby chick in an incubator or warm room to keep it warm. You put its food in a dish. You put marbles in the dish. It will peck at the shiny marbles and will get the food. That way it learns how to eat. You also give it water.
Can you briefly take a chick out from a heat lamp?
Yes. I have done it dozens of times. During the first week I wouldn't keep them out very long just for the chick's well being. They are cold blooded at this point so they aren't able to keep warm on their own. However as the chick ages it will be able to stay out for longer periods. By the time the chick is 3 weeks old it will be warm blooded and able to keep its body temperature up by moving around just as adult chickens do.

Can a cold egg hatch a chick?
No. Chickens are warm blooded birds. Just like any warm blooded creature (e.g. humans), if they stay too cold for too long, they will die. If the egg is cold, the chick will die before the egg can hatch. That's why hens sit on their eggs to keep them warm.

How do you get a shell stuck to a baby chick off?
You need to keep humidity up over 60% in the brooder box if you have transfered the chicks to a separate area. Never be in a rush to move the newly hatched chicks from the incubator. They should stay with their brood mates in the humid, warm incubator for at least 24 hours after hatch. You can add a few small drops of warm water to the area that appears stuck (use an eye dropper). Keep the chick warm at all times and out of drafts. Do not pull the shell away from the body of the chick, you may damage it.

Is it ok to move baby chick from the hen if you no other choice?
If you have no other choice, you have no other choice. The chick does not need momma hen for any reasons other than safety and warmth. Its not like she feeds them. Keep the chick separate and protected from the rest of the flock. Keep it warm and sheltered until it is old enough to fend for itself. That is usually at about 16 to 20 weeks depending on the breed.
