In nature a chicken will sit on a nest of egs keeping them warm. This helps the emryo develop in to the chick. when hatched the chicks natural body heat mechonism is still developing and therefore they need warmth. In the wild a chicken will still hudle the chicks together and keep them warm until they are able to create their own body heat

Can chickens be taken away from their parents at 3 days old?
Chicks don't need nor do they often have "parents" in that sense of the word. The rooster does not have anything to do with them unless they are members of his current flock, and then the only thing he does is protect the flock as a general duty. The mother hen simply provides some warmth and protection for the first few weeks. She has no other duties as they do not feed or "teach" chicks how to eat or drink. Many chicks are artificially incubated and do not have "parents" They simply need shelter, food and water to survive.
