Rooster chasing my hens.

You have a typical flock behavior pattern forming. (It's more painful for us to watch, than it is for them to participate)!

Yes, the establishment of "Pecking order" really hurts!

The only thing that throws me off is that the rooster came from one of my friends by himself and the new 4 hens came from a separate friend but the rooster and the 4 hens get along just fine. But he does mate with them and and they are laying but 1 of the new 4 hens is on top of the pecking order and chases the rooster away. But the new chickens get along. And my 12 chickens run

Haha okay I hope so. He also dances for them and they hate it and run away lol. So I feel like he is trying to dominate them and them and seduce them but they don't understand

Hello, as @sourland said, flock integration takes time.

Thanks for joining us!

I also worry about my rooster being aggressive to humans and is there any signs i should start looking for? And is there a way to correct him

I read that rir roosters can be aggressive and amauracauns can be polite and kind and he is a mix of both
