There are a lot of reasons TO TAKE the chicks from the hen. However, it is kind of fun to watch the hen with her chicks, if you have the room to isolate them from the flock.
A few reasons to take chick from hen:
- Make sure chick gets adequate nourishment
- Keep chicks safe from larger birds
- Keep chicks isolated for their protection
- Reduce exposure of chicks to avian diseases/viruses/bacteria until they are older and able to handle the exposure

After a egg has hatch do you remove the male parakeet if it is pecking the baby parakeet?
Yes you do if the male is being violent to the chicks. Especially if the female is being disturbed by the male or trying to defend the chicks. Get the female together though in the male's cage once and awhile so the couple will not forget about eachother, but do that a few days, (maybe 2 weeks) after the chicks have hatched. Depends on the age of the chicks. If they are out of the nest, pecking at them is natures way of weaning them to eat on their own. If they are very young, I would put male in a cage setup right next to the female, so he can continue to feed her through the bars. The female depends a lot on the male after the chicks are hatched.
