As an amusing story - One of my mutt hens (silkie background ) has several babies. She has been taking them all over the yard and being a great mom. Yesterday I had to go into town and she was by my car with the babies. After shooing her away (didn't want the babies to panic and go under my car)I backed out slowly. I had the windows down and heard her just carrying on. I looked over and she had her wings out in attack mode. I stopped the car wondering if there was a snake or something that I had spooked. Nothing. Momma was fine all the babies were fine. Then it hit me. She was attacking the car for being to close to the little ones.

They can be a bit protective I guess.

You sure she don't have some dog in her blood line. Chickens chasing cars. That's funny.
 
No my dog is a female and is fixed. So that can' t be it.... UNLESS everyone gives her a wide berth now since she is so fierce with her chicks and she is one of the lower ranking hens. Maybe the power has gone to her head!
