Not really...although it's best to get them in the spring. That way the weather is warmer & they'll be ready for to start laying by fall. Plus be able to handle the cold temp.
Answer Chicks are the baby penguins.
Baby roosters are call cockerel chicks. A rooster is called a cockerel right up until its first year and will be a full grown Rooster after that time. Spurs should be noticeable from about 7 months old if the breed in fact does develop spurs.
No Newly hatched chicks have a downy like soft pre-feather that remains under the growing feathers. It takes four to six weeks for them to be fully feathered. and that will last about one year. Adult chickens moult once per year.
You don't need to remove the chick from its brood hen, they will integrate into the flock when they are ready and the momma hen will protect it while it is growing. The chick does not really need the momma hen other than for protection and warmth on cold nights. The hen does not feed the chick, it knows how to feed itself from the time it emerged from the shell.
The only way to accomplish this is to separate them until the chicks are old enough to stay out of harms way. Allowing the chicks to socialize with the flock can be done with a temporary cage, the chicks are protected yet among the older birds. All flocks of chickens have a pecking order and there is no way to safely stop this, the more grown up your chicks are, the better able to handle the pecking and chasing until peace reigns in the hen house.

a number of young hatched at one time, a family of young, is known as a Brood
It depends on the species of bird. In many species, the male does not help rear the chicks. In some species, such as the ostrich, the male spends a good deal of time taking care of the chicks.
The chicks should all stay in the incubator until the hatch is complete and the chicks are fluffy and dry. They should all be moved to the brooder box at the same time. The chicks will roll the peeping eggs and that is ok. Sometimes the movement of the completed chicks will get the emerging chicks to begin and that is a good thing. Do not be hasty in removing the newly hatched chicks from the incubator, they can and should remain in there for up to 24 hrs.

No. All fetuses start off as a cell which is called an egg. But human babies are not inside an egg like baby chickens are when chicks are born. Human babies do not need a shell, because the mommy's belly gives the fetus protection for the entire time. Chicks must grow inside the egg shell but outside of their mommy's belly.
