Last time it took my girls three months to accept the new flock, but I'm going to try it. Next Spring I'm going to try to get another rooster and put the one I have currently in a fryer. Thank you all!

If you have a broody, get some fertile eggs from someone who has a nice rooster. Your hens will raise them to be respectful.
Good luck.

I have a aggressive rooster. Ever since he was a chick he has starved and bullied the others, even the hens. He also killed a other rooster and almost starved a hen. I have gotten spurred by him, and have had to resort to carrying a broom to scare him off, which doesn't work that well because he attacks it anyway. I want to keep him for protection because he is very good at protecting, but him attacking absolutely everyone is just not okay. Any ideas, or should I just get a new rooster and invite him to dinner?

He sounds like a handfull, have you tried getting a pair of these? They are snake gaiters and some people use them for leg protection with roosters as well: Snake gaiters
