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 can a mother chicken tell which chicks are her's when on a farm with other hen's chicks?
By verbal communication, and even by sight. To a human all chicks peep the same, but to a mother hen, she can tell which chicks are hers and which are not.
How old do chicks need to be to take a bath?

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.
What do mother chickens feed their baby chicks for breakfast?
Chicks hatch and know instinctively what to eat. Brood hens do not teach or feed the chicks.
Do chicks die if they do not have their mother?
Yes and no. They need her to lay on the egg so they can hatch. They need her to lay in them AFTER they have hatched. And the father goes and gets food and coughs it up so it will be easier to chew. And if the mother flys away, the cater will take care of the chicks while she is gone.
Why do chicks follow their mother?
Chicks follow their mother for protection, warmth, and guidance. The mother provides food, teaches them survival skills, and keeps them safe from predators. This behavior helps the chicks learn to navigate their environment and ensure their survival.
Do hens care for the chicks after they are hatched?
yes they do the chicks follow the mother round until they can look after themself
How do chicks protect themselves?
Chicks can't really protect themselves but the mother hens will protect them until they are old enough breed and to feed on their own.

Chicks (as in baby chickens) will eat grain, insects, grass, anything that they see their mother pecking at.
