I butchered my roosters and now my hen is attacking my chicks. She hatched them and raised them. Now she will not let them out of the coop. She runs and starts pecking them and chasing them down. This has been going on for three days. I am not sure what to do.
 
I would separate her for a week or so, then try again. If that oesn't work, you may havve to separate her until they are as big as she is.

Sometimes one chicken is just unmanageable,, and the best solution is a new home or the soup oot, unfortunatel. And sometimes they behave completely differently in a new home.

Good luck!
 
I separated her for three days and put her back in. It did not help. U may look for her a new home.
