When Do I Remove Mother?

[newchickens2009]

I'm Looking For A Little Input. I Have 6 32 Day Old Chicks And I'm Wondering If I Can Take Mother Hen Away From Them Now And Return Her Back To The Flock? The Temps Here Are Upper 80's Lower 90's In The Day And Upper 70's Lower 80's At Night. I've Been Checking Them The Last Few Nights And They Are Just Sleeping Around Her And Not Under Her Anymore. Don't Want To Move Mom To Early But Need To Get Her Back To Laying Those Wonderful Eggs! Any Help Is Greatly Appreciated And God Bless!!

I think it is ok to move her back now as long as the chicks are fully feathered. I usually just leave mine together until she is sick of them! She will still lay eggs when she is ready even if she still has the chicks with her. I had a bantam that had six eggs when I finally let them out of broody jail!
