12 week old roo Americana

[My Very First 6 Chickens]

Hello, I have added three 12wk olds to a flock of two, 3yr old hens. One of the 12 week olds is a male. one of the two 3yr olds is a bit disabled. Today the male and her fought. jumping, kicking, biting, the whole thing. she cant defend herself too well so hes singling her out. I have a very safe pen within their coop. I put him in it, and want to leave him there! He could live in their fine, and we free range daily. Is this something that can be realistic for a healthy, thriving back yard flock? (i also have another coop with 5 4yr old GLW's that are rock solid. Not sure how to deal with the roo that is ruffling feathers with the somewhat disabled hen. Any help or ideas would be appreciated. Getting rid of him is not an option. I took a chance when i got these babies, and feel I have the time and space to make this flock thrive.

I'd put him in with the Wyandottes and let them educate him.

Listen, I havnt said anything about these 5 Wyanottes, but they are MONSTERS. They attack together and tag team and are amazing. I keep them away. They have got to him a couple times and set him straight with me there for a count of 3-2-1 before i broke it up, but the 5 GLWs avoid him or at least keep distance. The 5 GLW's STILL hate the 2 3year olds, and once in a while go hunting them to cause trouble. mean girls for sure. ugh, I'm SO confused!
