Rooster integration

[Lady of McCamley]

I’m torn now, but I do want a good flock! However he’d be the only rooster & just have his 6 girls… maybe given that he’d be a great boy? & maybe I’m crazy! I’m new to this lol I feel like I can’t get rid of him without seeing for myself I guess

Uh no. Aggressive roosters are simply aggressive. They don't improve with a small flock, especially with "young, dumb ones" who are not experienced enough to keep him in check.

A year of age is still young for a rooster. My mature hens severely haze my silly teens, but I have trouble with the younger teen girls being harassed. I don't keep any that show any aggression to me, other animals, or any harshness with the hens. It simply isn't worth breeding forward headaches.

My thoughts.
