The rooster is often not the problem. The dominant hens are usually the aggressors when it comes to chicks. Is the rooster mean to the hen or chicks, if not then no, he will be just fine. If the rooster is mean then yes, but remove the brood hen and chicks to a safer location, not the rooster. A rooster is dominant when it comes to his territory but usually ignores the chicks running around.
