I have 10 week old hens and just had someone give me a full grown rooster. Can I put him in the coop with the little ones or will he kill them?

Welcome to BYC
You have pullets, immature birds, not full-grown hens. Since he has no adult hens to keep him occupied, he could certainly injure your young birds. He would be better off in a separate pen until your birds are older and closer to laying eggs - around 18 weeks.
