I have always kelp my mama and her babies in the coop with the others. They may occasionally lightly peck the chicks but nothing serious. The mom will usually protect them. I'd put them in there and just watch and see if things will go right.

Have the others been trying to kill the chicks? I sometimes put a dog cage inside of the coop nd lock them up at night. And let them all out in the morning.

Keep an eye on her to see where she goes and pick them up and put them in the coop at night. I've never had one leave the coop with chicks and not lead them back in at night.

usually within the first 2 or 3 days the hen will take them out of the coop and teach them the ropes. It's normal. Just make sure that they are all in the coop at night.
