 The hens were forced to give up their unborn children - even though it had been promised that they wouldn't have to do this anymore. At the start of animal farm, during the initial rebellion, it seemed like a good idea for the animals to share control of the farm and it was fair. 

Over time however, Napoleon has become a tyrannical dictator. With the hens, Napoleon starved them rather than discuss the issue and compromise. Through Squealer, Napoleon makes up more and more lies, using Snowball to create fear and distrust. This is similar to what Hitler did, during the second world war, by blaming European Jews for issues within Germany. Napoleon is a coward, with his pack of dogs, because he made the dogs kill, rather than do it himself. He also refuses to go anywhere without his dogs so he must be scared of the animals rebelling against him. Even Boxer, with his limited brain, has doubts over Squealers claims about Snowball. 

The executions were very cruel, and even if some of those crimes did take place, death was an unfair sentence. The executions were done to scare the animals into complete obedience. 

The lack of food over the Winter, and the lying and deception of Mr Whimple, shows that the farm is failing and that Napoleon is not a particularly good leader.
