Mama hen chasing chicks

[Cockledoo]

My hens chicks (2) are 8 weeks old and she is chasing them now whenever they get close to her. Is this normal ? Is it part of weaning them off her? One of the chicks is starting to stress out I think because she is pulling out her feathers around her neck.. Shall I just separate the chicks from the mother ? Thank you

this is normal weaning. Once the mama is done taking care of them she'll treat them the same as the rest of the flock does.

Normal.
Broody raising chicks is supposed to be easier than hatching/integrating,
but this phase is a PITA.

Do you have other chickens?
How big is your coop and run, in feet by feet?
Dimensions and pics would help here.
