BOZO AND GOZO ON A GOOD DAY

 
Are you able to seperate the mamma and chicks from the others until the chicks get bigger? It happens a lot where chickens will pick on babies. The momma usually tries to protect the babies, but isn't always successful. Another option is to give the babies a place they can run and hide where the others can't bother them. This could be something simple, such as a large box where the "doorway" is baby chick sized.
One thing to make sure of is that they are getting food and water. The bigger hens might be chasing the little ones away from the food.
