If the chick is hatched by the hen no. She takes care of everything. If incubator than yes. Chicks have to be kept warm and have fresh water and medicated chick starter available at all times and kept safe and away from the other chickens.

∙ 13y agoIf the chicks have been hatched naturally by a hen then she will look after them; protecting them, encouraging them to eat and keeping them warm.
There are some things that you can provide to make it more likely that the chicks will survive.
- Protection from predators such as dogs, cats, crows and rats. Put the hen and chicks into a protected area until they are bigger. If you lose chicks overnight it is probably rats. Other hens might also peck at the chicks.
- Suitable food. Provide small chicken crumbles that can fit into the mouth of the chicks.
- Water. Make sure it is low enough to the ground that the chicks can reach it, but not too deep or they can drown.
- Do not handle the chicks too much or the hen might reject them and you will have to look after them instead.
