Should i move my hen and her newly hatched guinea babies to a different pen?

i have 17 other chickens and i am worried they might hurt the babies.
 
Yes, I would put them in a seperate pen. You can also section them off so the other birds can't get them. Some hens will peck the chicks and will hurt them or kill them. Keep them seperate until the babies are older/bigger. Hope this helps.
 
ok well that means i have to put my roosters back with the hens

should i move them at day or night? and how should i move them?

i was thinking put the babies in a box, grab mom and put them in the pen.
