Removed broody hen from her nest box, proceeds to go crazy and bully 5 new chickens

[Bryce Thomas]

I have 1 silkie and 4 naked necks and they are all new, my girl shadow was broody and she is sweet to people but loves bullying other chickens. Shadow is a silkie which is unusual because they are usually nice but she is a mean chicken. I introduced the new chickens a week ago and they barely pecked each other at all. Then shadow just went crazy about bullying them. Other than putting up hides and re-introducing, any thoughts and ideas?

I introduced them for a week and they were fine around eachother
Their coop is massive (60 feet long, 40 feet wide, 6.5 feet tall)
They have 3 waterers and 2 treadle feeders that are open constantly because treadle training the new chickens
Yes the waters and feeders are all behind hides.

Any thoughts to get shadow to stop bullying the new chickens?

If she's still broody she might just be mad you moved her and taking it out on them. I had a broody go after my dog when I took her out of the nesting box

How long was she broody?
If you're trying to break her broodiness you know you should put her in a crate.

Im just worried something will happen to her in a crate. Last time I put a chicken in a crate it died 15 minutes later with no explanation. It was from heat stroke, its winter time so of course shadow will be just fine but im just scared it will happen again...
