Take away from mom

[Carol1463]

When should I take chicks away from momma hen, or should I?

If you are going to keep them, just let the hen raise them. She will take care of them, integrate them into the flock, and leave them when they are ready to be without her. Mother hens take good care of their chicks

X2 Let mama raise them, it's a whole lot easier.....

I agree, if you’re planning to keep them just let mama raise them.

What is the goal? Sell as tiny chicks or have as part of the flock?

 

[Poultrybonkers]

As soon as they hatch leaving them with her will make them feral.

Not necessarily. You can still socialize them while leaving them with mom.
