You should be able to trim your rooster's nails. It's done like you would trim dog or parrot's nails. http://exoticpets.about.com/cs/resourcesgeneral/a/nailtrim.htm http://www.vetmed.wsu.edu/cliented/dog_nails.aspx
I think over "doing" it must depend on the Rooster. I have an 8 mo old Rooster who only has access to 3 hens at the moment. He's been a gentleman with his three girls. The worst they have, is that his favorite is a BO, and her butt/saddle feather area looks like the bottom of a dirty sock. lol She's got stains from his dirty feet on her.
Good luck trimming!! I hope that helps a bit!
