Welcome to BYC!
It really depends on the dynamics of your flock. Mine have never fought or attacked each others chicks. But I have new broodies this year, so I've separated them from the others.
Not knowing how your hens will react, I would say that if it is at all possible, seperate them.

Hello, and welcome to BYC. Under the circumstances described the hens are likely to fight and attack one another's chicks.

My experiences that is exactly what happens. I normally don't allow 2 boody to hatch at the same time and will break the 2nd up if I already have one.
