Rooster acting weird towards hen?

[Chicken6000]

How new is the rooster? Have you seen him mate her?
If she's head hen she may have not submitted to him yet. This would make him get aggressive towards her, to the point where she either submits or he kills or drives her out of the flock.

Yea before she and all the other hens have gone broody she was the alpha hen, they have mated before but now hes just bullying her basically, he moves without her and eats without her, hes just with everyone else, hes attacked her today, were separating him from the flock for a little now.

This!

I've had this happen before. When the cockerel matured to the point that he was ready to take over the flock the dominant hen fought him. She lost. For two days he attacked her every time she approached the flock or even got close. Neither was injured but it was pretty vicious. One of them, especially the hen, could have easily gotten seriously hurt or killed. After two days they worked it out. They became best buddies but it was vicious and one could have been hurt or killed before they worked it out.

I'd watch them closely but give them a chance to settle it.
