    Separating Momma Hen from her chicks

    Once he gets a little older he should settle down somewhat as well. I've found with mine that they seem to have testosterone poisoning until they hit around a year or a little older. After that they settle down quite a lot. (Those that don't get a one way ticket to freezer camp. )

    Separating Momma Hen from her chicks

    Sounds like she was good and ready to "wean" them. I think you've done exactly the right thing. The one hen picking on her is because she was separated from them for so long, and now they have to re-sort the pecking order. Things should calm down within a few days as @iwiw60 said above.
