Hen attacking chick

I have a hen (not momma) that started attacking a two week old chick this morning. They’ve been peacefully coexisting until now. Momma is kind of protecting but I’m afraid the hen is going to kill the chick. Any advice?

I tried to separate mom and baby but mom got really stressed to be separated from the flock.
