I came out later to find only two of them alive, (barely) and the rest torn to shreds.

What a shame after all the effort of hatching them. Hope the rest survive okay. Other than that I can't help you. Guinea fowl do something similar and I just keep them separate until about 15 weeks - old enough to run away from an irate adult.
