Need help bad a doe is killing fawns

Hey Lana, did not know that was you either. Musta been the ''deer in the house'' that gave me away huh? :) Big hug back to you. Hope you and ''yours'' are doing great. God Bless!
 
My three year old doe is aggressively chasing our yearling doe, ever since the 3 year old had her fawns. The yearling is not bred and does not try to go near her fawns at all. They are our only two does, so I am wondering now what will happen next year when both have fawns. She also chases our buck, but he goes out of his way to stay clear of her as much as he can. She is fine with us being in the pen, even around her fawns, but chases/attacks the other deer just for being near her or where she wants to go. She is a great doe, and very tame, but we only have one pen, so separating her isn't an option. I didn't think she would attack babies, but after reading this thread, looks like I might need to rethink that.
