Young roosters are fairly gregarious and the pullets are not happy with his attentions. They are putting him in his place. You may have heard the expression "rules the roost" It is actually the girls (hens) who lay down the law, not just the eggs.
The cockerel will soon learn the pecking order.

Is 4 roosters too many for 6 hens?
Better to say 4 roosters is too many for 4 roosters. The 6 hens can wait a bit and soon there will be one rooster a-go-go, one in the hereafter, one running away, and one squating on the ground. The hens could deal with 6 roosters, but the big boy a go-go won't stand for more than him with his flock. actually 1 rooster needs 5 hens to be satisfied other wise roosters will fight One rooster will service (fertilize the eggs of) up to 6 hens. If you have more than 6 hens, you will need another rooster. 4 roosters on 6 hens is not good. The roosters will fight and the hens will be exhausted running from all the roosters.
