Can I take chicks away from their mother?

It is a lot easier to integrate the Chicks with Momma than doing it later on....... Momma will look after them...wait till the Chicks are a week or two and put them with the flock....

My chicks are hatching now. One was smashed and of course dead. I’ve removed the other two. I have some more to hopefully hatch. Can I put them all back with mom when they’ve all hatched out?

would the momma mind if i take 3 or 4 and leave some? will the she let me hold her chicks to get them socialised with humans?

I had 2 silkie hens go broody, one chick hatched early and so the one hen only took to the 1 chick where my other sweet hen took on the other six but u could take a few u want to raise urself and then leave a couple with the mother hen then u can do things ur way without stressing the hen out looking for her missing chicks
