Chicken's wing roots broke off??!

As long as he can see the girls, he will act crazy. Remove him out of sight and ear. Provide him fresh water and some food. Cover the crate if you need to.
How old is he?
P9st a picture of your set up.
How many roosters timeshare your Females.
How many females do you have in ratio. Example:
10 Pullets: 1 Cockerel

Hello Vickischics, he is 1 year and 1 month old. I'm not sure what you mean by "how many roosters timeshare your females"? I have a ratio of 4 pullets : 1 cockerel. For right now, I bought them a saddle already so I think they should be good and they are currently doing good!

Thank you for your reply. I realized my talk textd messed up.
I didn't mean to say "timeshare"! Lol.
What talk text was suppose to say was: How many Roosters per Hens do you have?
Over mating in small flocks is a common concern. One Cockerel(<1y/o) or Rooster(>1 y/o) will mate 10-30 times in 24 hours (1 day).
Therefore, it is commonly recommended to have 1 Cockerel/Rooster per 10 Pullets/Hens. Yes, he will pick his favorite but, he will share the wealth around while giving the girls a break.
It's great that you purchased saddle aprons for your 4 Pullets.
But, please consider the heat and keep them well hydrated and offer cooling foods such as cold watermelon ect..Even though it's probably a cute piece of material, it does get Hot.
Now that the 1:4 ratio is known, myself and others will recommend chicken math and suggest adding a minimum of 6 more girls.
The 1:10 ratio recommendation will help protect your current girls from being repeatedly pinned down, bit on the neck while his spurs dig into their sides 10-30 times a day for mating purposes.
Over mating is a very common reason for the broken feather shafts that aren't healing nor growing back.
Hope this ratio recommendation helps.

Hello Vickischics, thank you for your tip, I will see if I can enlarge my flock. I will definitely keep them hydrated!

Much appreciated,

I stood out there daily with my rooster and hens. Every time he would overly attack a hen I would go after him and give him a taste of the same treatment. He learned to calm down pretty quick. We also pet him a lot at night in the hen house to tame him down.
