How to add a aggressive rooster to a flock

I'm assuming that you mean that he is over-breeding your two hens, rather than being aggressive? The rule of thumb is a rooster to hen ratio of 1:10, so the more hens he has, the less likely over-breeding will be. If that means giving him to your grandmother, then why not? On the whole, roosters do not necessarily need the same kind of integration procedures as hens. If he is kept separate from your grandmother's flock, but where they can both see each other for a few days, before he is allowed to mingle, all should be well (but its important to observe, and intervene, if necessary).
 
I know the title has nothing to do with breeds but I didn't know how to change it lol, I have a year old rooster and aggressive from lack of hens to mate with, I'm thinking about giving him to my grandma to her six hens! And idk how he will do with them, there not even near a year yet! Can anyone help me of how to solve this problem
You can for sure try that.....Put him in a crate for a few days so they can see each other first.....Then let him out with the hens as they free range.....Pecking and chasing will happen but that is normal......As long as no blood is shed it will be fine....

I will help if you need me?

Cheers!
