I have a hen that hatched eggs for the 1st time. when she started setting I moved her to a kennel inside of the run because the other hens kept adding to her clutch. when the four chicks were a day old I came home from work to find two dead baby chicks out in the run. Somehow they got out and the other chickens or roo killed them. so now it's only mama and babies in the run. My question is, when should I let her out with the rest of the flock and the other chickens not kill her babies? I now have another hen sitting in the coop and I don't want to move her but am afraid of the murderous other chickens killing her babies when they hatch too. 
. (I have only had chickens for a year so I am new to this killing of chicks behavior
)
