I have a little flock of 15 chooks. 4 are roosters. I have a massive Sussex rooster-Ken, a pretty little mixed thing-Charlie and two silkies-Chris and Feliks. Charlie is a big bully. He chases the hens everywhere pulling out feathers and fighting them. He has attacked big lovable Ken and Ken was pretty hurt. One of my hens are missing quite alot of feathers from him. He is continuously picking on the hens and they always get feathers pulled out. They fight back but Charlie always wins A hen ran behind me for protection once
Should I get rid of him or what can I do to stop the little devil from attacking my hens. He hasn't attacked my two silke roosters or my silkie hen but they have no hope against him in a fight. What should I do?
 
How old are they? Roosters probably dont know the approach to mate hens, with time they gonna find out. They just wanna mate so badly, they do it with anger, youngsters testerone. :D
 
Too many roosters for 11 pullets!!

Multiple roosters can cause competition aggression...it can be worst when they are immature.
Get rid of all but your favorite....segregate all but your favorite immediately.

Charlie might calm down of you get the others out of there, or he may just be an aggressive rooster and you don't want that around no matter what anyway.
