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.

∙ 10y agoIf the young chickens have been raised by a broody hen, the rooster can be ever-present in the hen house. Mama hen will let everyone know when they are intruding on her babies.
If young chickens are an introduction to an established flock, there shouldn't be any problem with roosters mounting the pullets or fighting the cockerels.
If you place fully matured birds (about 5 months of age or older) in an already established flock, the rooster will claim the hens by mounting them, and he may establish a "pecking order" among the young roosters. It will take a couple of days to work out the hierarchy. If a single bird is sought out by the rooster, then that bird needs to be removed from the flock.
