There are several reasons why a mother hen may suddenly kill all of her chicks at once. One possibility is that she may perceive a threat to her brood, such as a predator, and may see killing them as a way to protect them from harm. Another possibility is that she may have a hormonal or behavioral imbalance that causes her to be overly aggressive towards her chicks. In some cases, it may also be due to stress, illness, or other underlying health issues. It's important to closely monitor the behavior of mother hens and their chicks to prevent any potential issues.
