[chickenboy1993]

i got dutch batams and 2 hens hatched out 3 and 7 chicks i was wondering when do i take the chicks away from the momma?

You don't ever have to take them and she can raise them up so you don't have to!

if i wanted to sell them when should i take them away? anytime?

I had always let the Mama take care of them until she was sick of them and "weaned" them, usually in 4-7 weeks.

Yes, but I'd leave at least one baby with Mama or she'd be upset.
