Chicks are dependent on the mother hen until their feathers come in. So long as they are fluffy and yellow, they need a mom. The mother teaches her chicks how to scratch for food and what animals are dangerous. She also protects them until they are big enough to live on their own.

Hen take care of her young?
The hen will take care of her young to the best of her ability. Young chicks are curious and wander away from moma hen but she will round them up with soft calls. Everything is dangerous for chicks and even other hens of the flock will attack if the baby is left unattended. If the mother hen is busy saving one chick, another wayward babe can often get in trouble. Try to keep momma hen separate from the rest of the flock until the chicks are at least 6 weeks old, this helps the babies by letting them grow enough to run faster away from danger.
