Probally when the chicks can feed themselves and they have lots of feathers
Actually, chickens don't need parents to survive, other than to be birthed in the first place. As long as you maintain proper feeding and a healthy environment, they grow up fine. Most or all of their behaviors are instinctual, not learned.
This would depend on where you live. Once the chicks leave the incubator they are transferred to the brooder box where temperatures are gradually dropped from 90 degrees plus to ambient outdoor temperatures. In cold climates chicks will be allowed to stay in the brooder until feathers are almost fully developed. Most breeders will suggest that you start chicks at 95F (with room to escape direct heat) Drop the temperature by 5 degrees every two days until brooder box temps are equal to daily high temperatures. You can then move the chicks outside and into a separate coop or cage.
