It is fine to have a slightly smaller roo than the hens.

Agreed. Better saddle area pictures on the left one would be good.

If your other chicken is a hen, he will over mate her causing feather loss and then injure her. The rule of thumb is one male to 10 females.

We have (outside of these two) 5 hens in with the big coop and 13 other pullets that just moved from the brooder to the chicken tractor to transition to the coop eventually.
If you search my former posts, our first babies were straight run and we did not hit the jackpot- 4 cockerels, 2 pullets. Now we just sold off all but one of those roosters at auction ($18 a piece!) and he is well stocked with companions.
We have 30 acres and they free range within the yard. So lots of room to enjoy life!
