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.

How old does a baby chicken need to be to leave its mum?
Many chicks never know their mother. Most chicks are artificially incubated and are raised in a brooder with other chicks their own age. Chicks hatched by a broody hen in the chicken coop often stay with "mom" until they are full grown at the age of 6 to 8 months old and will often stay with "mom" all their lives. This is basically just for companionship as the mother hen does not feed her chicks, they are born knowing how and what to eat.
