Just from your first post, I'm not sure if you understand how chicken mating can be. Eventually it gets smooth and nice, if fast, with a good rooster. With a young rooster and young pullets, it's often pretty violent looking and distressing to humans not used to it. A fair amount of chasing, feather pulling, failed attempts, persistent chasing of a hen, lots of noise and struggle at times. Like I said, it doesn't/shouldn't last forever, but that's usually what your looking at at first.
Personally I love roosters and always have some in my layer flock. I've just seen folks here have bad reactions to seeing mating for the first times.
