welcome to BYC! if it's mounting the hens it sounds like you have a roo, hard to tell for sure without a photo

Mine did that sometimes to establish dominance, it's a bit hard to tell if you've got a lad on your hands without more information.
Age, pictures etc would help 8D

Whether he a male or not, I would separate him from the poor hen that is brooding eggs. He could injure her or damage the eggs. Broody hens don't want to leave their nest to eat, drink or potty. You may have to force her off for a short time once a day to accomplish that.

Definitely separate this bird out. Very disturbing to the hen and could do her harm.

Enjoy BYC!

Howdy from Kansas, and

! Great to have you here! Sounds like a roo! But like the others have said, even if not, isolate it from the hen. Good luck to you!
