My hen is attacking her own chicks

Yes, if the hen is attacking a chick, you should remove that chick from her. If she attacks both, remove both.

If the chicks are more than one month old, they will probably do fine without her. She may be tired of raising them, and trying to make them go away.

im so sad mate because i only
move one I wake up and the other chick is completely injured his head, im so lucky that chick is still alive, i feel bad rn. Im new and i did alot of rookie mistakes :(
 
Don't feel too bad. Lots of people make mistakes at first, but you're learning, and you won't make that particular mistake again :) And you did move the one chick, and did rescue the other chick--it's got a good chance of healing, because chickens are pretty impressive that way.
