When are chicks old enough to leave their mother?
Many chicks are artificially incubated and have no "parents" in that sense of the word. Chicks that are hatched under a hen will remain close to the hen as part of the flock for as long as they live. Chicks introduced to the flock at about 3 or 4 months old are assimilated into the flock within hours.

How much care does a 2 month old chick need?
At two months old most chicks are nearing the time they can be released into the main flock to take care of themselves. Many chicks are already in among the main flock by this time , however, chicks raised in a separate area can be unaware of the dangers they face among a flock of adult hens. As long as they have adequate room to run away and good shelter available they should be fine to release into the flock.
1 of your hens had 2 chicks you had a rooster the father but it died it turns out 1 of the chicks is a rooster now will he breed with the rest of the flock?
Yes. Chickens don't have our morals or laws. But inbreeding too many generations can lead to an infertile flock. This will happen if say the 2 chicks breed together and their chicks breed together, and the chicks chicks chicks breed and so on. Father and daughter or mother and son is called setting the blood lines. If you ever get any new hens or roosters and introduce them in to your flock it will`replenish` the gene pool. You don't want the family tree to run a straight line for too many generations, but for the first 3-4 generations should be ok. This is just a quick overview on the subject.

Can you keep your hen and chickens with the other ones?
Chicken have a social group or family called a flock. Hens and chicks can be kept with the rest of the flock but it is best to wait until the chicks are about a month old if they have been separate from the flock at hatch. Chickens also have what is called the pecking order and the other adult birds in the flock will often try to bully the new chicks and end up hurting them. When they are about a month old they are fast enough to escape back to momma hen.
