You can leave the chicks with the mother but it will only last 4 to 8 weeks. Usually, it's the mother hen who wants to wean them and get back to her flock. In warm weather, you don't really need a heat lamp, but get a secure pen and chick starter until they're 20 weeks old.
Care of the Baby Chicks. Unlike when you order chicks from a hatchery, baby chicks who are hatched naturally under a broody hen don't need a lot of care. The mother hen provides the heat, so you don't need a heat lamp, but you will need the other basic chick supplies. She will also show the chicks how to eat and drink.ight around day 21, you will probably begin to hear the little peeps of baby chicks. Exciting! You may not get a good look at them for a while. They tend to stay under mama for one or two days. And remember, some will hatch and then the rest may hatch over the next two to four days.
