The best thing to do is swap the roosters with other people with the same problem. you will end up with healther happier chicks. Hope this helps. Regards Chook Butcher.
1 of your hens had 2 chicks you had a rooster the father but it died it turns out 1 of the chicks is a rooster now will he breed with the rest of the flock?
Yes. Chickens don't have our morals or laws. But inbreeding too many generations can lead to an infertile flock. This will happen if say the 2 chicks breed together and their chicks breed together, and the chicks chicks chicks breed and so on. Father and daughter or mother and son is called setting the blood lines. If you ever get any new hens or roosters and introduce them in to your flock it will`replenish` the gene pool. You don't want the family tree to run a straight line for too many generations, but for the first 3-4 generations should be ok. This is just a quick overview on the subject.

Will your other chickens and rooster hurt the chicks that will hatch in the pen?
Much of this depends on the breed, game chickens tend to be more aggresive. Chickens, like people, have individual personalities. You should never assume that ,because it is a certain breed, your chicks will be safe. Ideally, you would want to keep the roosters separate. If you must keep the rooster in the cage with the chicks I would recommend watching them closely for the first few days. Also , if a hen hatched the chicks she will most likely defend them.
