Rooster keeps trying to mate a limping hen and makes her leg condition worst! Help

Oh dear.
I've read this whole thread, this is a bad rooster. A good one doesn't behave like this, OP, you need to get rid of or cull this rooster. He's injuring and stressing your hens, that's not the way a good rooster behaves to his girls. You're right, no one would want a problem rooster except for soup. Unfortunately, your only realistic options are rehome for soup or make him soup yourself.
To keep him, separated or otherwise, isn't healthy. they don't deserve that. Perhaps you should rehome your whole flock if this is distasteful to you, as sometimes, stuff like this is completely necessary. I hope you find a good solution, good luck! :]
 
Do you think you could get someone to cull him for you?
Eh, actually i got to know in the morning that gramps is selling him, probably he'll end up in the pot :/. The next rooster we'll be getting is going to be a small one (about the same size as leghorn rooster), so even if he acts the same, he won't to much damage to sick hens :/ Looks like the limping one will get some freedom. I can't say I'm happy but ik that this will do good for my hens :/
 
This scratching a hen when she is down is bad behavior.
The fact that these chickens have been a flock for a year and a half, and still ALL the hens do not like him and run from him tells me he is just a mean, abusive JERK!
this rooster is making ALL your hens life miserable to some extent, hurting them to the point 2 have died and this lame hen is next.
Good animal husbandry includes doing what is right and necessary. This rooster would live on my farm about as long as it would take me to catch him, and gleefully ring his neck.
After he is gone and peace and harmony return to your barnyard, you will regret not doing it sooner
Lots of good roosters are culled for lack of a good home. No need to keep a bad one.
Just reading your posts makes me sorry for your poor girls. Do what's right for them.
