Grown-Up Chicks

[ChickNorris]

6 weeks back I got new chicks. I already had 3 adult hens and, fortunately, one adopted them.Now that they're fully feathered, the mama is losing interest in them.I had them in a separate little house. Should I still keep them in that house even though the moms gone, or introduce them to the flock.Do they still need a heat lamp?

if they are fully feathered out they don't need a heat lamp and can venture outside to a coop/run.
