   my hen is rearing 7 6week old chicks.
   
   this hen is a very broody type. she laid an EGG this morning!
   
   im worried about her chicks, she will be broody probably by next week.
   
   will i separate her chicks? will she peck them?

   She'll be fine if she's been rearing them this long. She will peck at them as she attempts to wean them (but will probably still let them sleep with her at night for a while longer)
