Why does my rooster attack every chicken that comes out of the coop in the morning??

That's not an attack, that's LOVE. Well, morning love. For a chicken.

Morning luv.....

Raging testosterone levels in the early morning.

Sums it up to a T. I had a a Rooster with the very same courting method for a lack of a better phrase. Got him when he was 8 months old, he was 3rd on the totem pole where he came from so he had very little lady skills. Didn't help I kept him quarantined for 45 days, in which he could see the ladies. When he eventually got access well the girls were in for a surprise. Anyway he has tempered his approach with age and a good molt.

Very common occurrence this style of mating. I considered it caveman style for chickens.
