Some roosters are very mean. You need to get rid of this rooster or keep him completely separate. Rooster are supposed to love hens. He will no doubt hurt the rest of your flock or you. Remove him.

Here is the link is the link to the chicken breeds page. Just click on the breed you wish to review and go from there....https://www.backyardchickens.com/products/category/chicken-breeds

You can add chicken breed I believe by clicking on the "add an item" at the top of the page. I am not sure, but you may need to have a certain amount of posts before you can review something. But give it a try first. :-)

X2 on TwoCrow's advice. How many hens and roosters do you have? The recommended ratio is 10 hens for every 1 rooster. Too many roosters can be very hard physically on your hens; over-breeding them, biting and plucking the feathers from their necks and backs, battering them, and potentially, seriously injuring them. I currently have 25 hens and no roosters in my flock, and I get loads of eggs without the aggression, fighting, feeding of non-productive mouths, crowing in the middle of the night, over-breeding and battering of hens that typically goes along with having roosters (especially too many). My hens are stress free and enjoying life without any roosters around.
