i have 2 hens that have been sharing the nest duty and on 5/29 they hatched 5 chicks. they have been doing great with the chicks and sleeping side by side. but today they were really going at it fighting, i took 1 out of the coop and after a while i tryed to let the hen in but no this time they started fighting with the chicks right under them. its more then just a fight, they really want to hurt each other, i dont know why, i thought they were co-parenting very well together. now i dont know what to do.I have to agree with the posters that say don't do it. I have heard some say they have never had any problems with two broodies with chicks together - but I can tell you it did not work well for me. My two broodies almost killed each other the first day after they hatched the biddies - and like to have trampled the babies in the process. I had to build two separate pens in the coop to keep each with their own babies in. After about 2 weeks they were fine. But I believe they would have fought to the death right after the babies hatched.
