Sorry, just getting back to this. They pecked them HARD. I didn't really wait much beyond a clearly aggressive peck because I didn't want hurt chicks.

Yep- they weren't ready then. It's hit or miss. Smart move pulling the chicks in this case.

The times I have been successful there is no pecking at all from the mother hens.
