Hen keeps murdering chicks!!

[chicken3fly]

I really wonder if that's true...since baby chicks are extremely difficult to sex, it seems unlikely. How would the hen know which was male and which was female? Chicks don't start to develop sex markers until much older and it's not like the hen turns them upside down and peers into their vents!

maybe some type of mom sense?
