Welcome to BYC. I've always allowed my hens to raise their young with the flock. I also have raised chicks, myself, inside a large brooder, within the flock run. By the time they are 4 weeks old the flock is used to them and I start letting them out to roost with the adults.

Give mama her own little setup, away from the big hens and the 6-week-old chicks. That way the new babies stay safe, and she can focus on being a good mom without all the chaos. Once the chicks are a bit older and can hold their own, slowly introduce them back in.
