Can you leave the rooster in the pen with mother and babies?

If you have space to separate them do so. If the birds are free range then you will have more problems from aggressive hens than from the rooster.

About baby brids?

Baby birds, or chicks, are typically born naked and helpless, relying on their parents for food, warmth, and protection.

It is important to leave baby birds undisturbed in their natural environment unless they are injured or in immediate danger.
