When will my rooster calm down?

our 7-8 month old hatched rooster grabs the neck too. i don't think it hurts them though. as far as killing them, if you wait till evening they are pretty comatose then you can lay it on the ground, hold its body down and grab its head (covering its eyes), pull the head out then chop it off. I just had to do that to a mortally injured rooster. I was really worried, but then it really was not that hard, and it was very instant. they do flop around for quite a while and the body makes noises.
REALLY??? Thanks so much I'm sure I'm not the only one who's day you made.
Came to find out how to help our rooster calm down and this is what you've got .......

So at his age it's normal to grab onto their neck feathers and get dragged around while they run screaming and trying to get away? Breaks my heart to hear them scream. I don't know if I can kill him...it just seems like there's no nice way to do it.

I got 3 chicks this spring, and one ended up being a rooster. I didn't want a rooster, but I got attached to him and decided if he stays nice and everyone gets along he can stay. He is an Easter Egger, coming up on 4 months old and really starting to get frisky. He mostly goes after the 2 that I got at the same time as him, since he's afraid of most of the older hens, and those 2 want nothing to do with it, so they spend a lot of time roosting up somewhere away from him. He has started going after my most bullied hen now too, and tonight she was pretty upset over it. She even got worked up just when he would crow, and wouldn't leave my side when I was outside. I'm assuming we're dealing with some sort of teenager stage and eventually he'll relax a little bit and quit thinking about the sex part of life and be more of a protector...am I right? I don't want everyone to be miserable, so if this is how life is going to be for them then I may need to look into rehoming him.
Here he is below with the 2 younger girls in one of their "safe places"

Hi - I know this is a really old post but did the situation resolve? Did he chill out as he got more mature? I have a male egger who is chasing around my lowest adult hen and having his way with her and he chases her for such a long fight and then she screams bloody murder once he gets her. Actually this was the first time as far as I know, that he has mated one of them
