That really depends on you and the rooster. If it were a really good roo, I'd keep him.
The bottom line here is that it's o.k. to make mistakes. If the roo starts throwing birds you don't want, then get rid of him. Nothing is set in stone. That being said, if you overdo it, and end up with a flock that's mostly comprised of animals with undesirable characteristics, you'll have to work extra hard to dig yourself out. Just pay attention, take small steps, and don't be afraid to take a chance, and keep good records!
