Yes. Momma hen will keep the chicks safe and protected for about 8 weeks after hatch as long as she is able to keep them near her. Chicks however are curious and will explore their new world. This can be hazardous and other members of the flock will peck at them.

∙ 15y agoNo the rooster is not involved in the care of the chicks other than protecting the flock as a group.
The mother hen will look out for the safety of the babies as best she can. Other hens in the flock will peck the chicks if they get too close and it is often a good idea to keep the momma and chicks separate from the rest until the chicks are about 12 weeks old.
