Rooster trouble

[Daviswife1]

my chickens are 12 weeks old . I believe one is a rooster.The problem is there is a what I believe to be an abandoned adult rooster that comes to my coop every morning. Until today. Today he has stayed around my chicken coop all day. I normally let my girls out everyday for a few hours. Well the last 2 days they have been wondering off beyond their boundaries. Now today I can’t let them out cause he won’t leave. Any advice on what to do?

If it was me I'd kill the rooster or trap and cage him then put on Craigslist.
My first concern would be him bringing a disease to my birds.
Other concerns would be if you have a young cockerel he will most likely decide to take control of your hens and could cause harm to your cockerel. He looks like some sort of game rooster which don't play well with other males.
Another issue is since he ranges he will lure your hens away and once they get into that routine you most likely will never stop it.
I see nothing good about him hanging around.
Remove him in a permanent way.

I have 2 strays up for free now,,,,,
catch him and then find him a home, if you can.

Not even a game rooster will fight another rooster if the other rooster failes to bow up at or challenge the game rooster. A game rooster is in fact named after the fact that they do not run away from or give into a challenger. This is why I recomend that to stop a supposed bullying hen that it is more effective to re-home the hen being bullied. Because like roosters hens don't fight other hens for the fun of it but because the hen being bullied fails to show the proper (in a chickens' view) respect to more powerful flock mates, in other words the hen being bullied is displaying her game fowl roots or background.
