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.
Some of my baby chicks, outside for the first time. But sooner or later, they need to go outside. If you have more chickens, you will need to introduce them carefully to the big girls (and boys). But before you even start to think about that, it's a good idea to get your chicks used to being outside at all.
