      Mama can take care of them just fine. You might want to screen off a little area for them, where the other chickens cannot get to them & hurt the babies.

        If the mother hen is attentive to the chicks and is clucking and teaching them to eat, then I would leave them with her. I would keep them away from any other older chickens till the babies can fend for themselves. She will keep them warm and teach them what they need to know.
