Will roosters kill baby chicks?
Its not usually the rooster you need to worry about. Most roosters just ignore the chicks. It's the other hens in the flock who will peck at the young ones.

Often the mother hen is guarding the other chicks when one gets into trouble. Whenever possible, it is best to keep the brood hen and chicks away from the other members of the flock until they are old enough to escape unwanted attention.
