Do you know how old they are? Are the chicks fully feathered? If not they should be in a brooder with a heat lamp. The rule of thumb is to keep a heat lamp at 95°F for their first week of life, and decrease it be 5° each week until they are at room temperature or fully feathered. The brooder should be big enough that they can get away from the heat lamp if they want to, but not so big that they can't easily find their way back to it.
Well, they don't have any feathers. They are like those 1 day chicks. We keep them in a carton box for the night. We close three shades and open one for air. They have a blanket and it covers them up. The three were cuddled when I saw them and they usually don't move away from the place where they are sleeping.

You'll need to feed them chick started (medicated, if you can find it) and they'll need a shallow dish for water (they make special waterers for chicks that work great, you can find them at a feed store for a couple dollars). As they get bigger their water will need to be placed on something (I use a cinderblock) to raise it off the ground.They can't hold water in their mouths well and the water will drain out before they can swallow if it's not raised.
We gave them water in a cap for the night. The mornings are warm so they spend their time in the garden. Thanks for the raising the bowl information!

You said one is picking on the other. Are they the same size/the same age? If one is much larger than the other it will likely pick the other to death. Otherwise it may just be them determining their "pecking order", though I don't usually see that in my young chicks.
Well, the brown one annoys both, the big chick and the pink chick, so my sister said we should switch it and get a green one because, we can't keep one chick alone and the rest together, he'd feel lonely. The brown and pink are of the same size. He annoys the bigger one too. My brother was really mad at the chick, and so, we definitely need to change it. I think it might feel better with the rest of its brothers.
