We might keep our rooster but really mean and if he grows it will chase me like other rooster so how to I stop it from doing that?
 
Pick him up and handle him every day. And if he chases you, grab him and pick him up, carry him around, pet him. Don't be mean to him, but just let him know that if he does that, he will have to be carried around and subdued. Don't run from a rooster that's chasing you. Get a squirt bottle and put regular tap water in it; give him a squirt in the face if he starts chasing you. You just need to let them know that you are the alpha, not them.
 
You wait and see if he's going to be a nice roo or a mean one. In the meantime, it's best to always remain standing when close to him, and never turn your back on him. Make him move out of your way instead of walking around him if he's in your way.

Then ignore him.

Is he already chasing? Or are you just scared that he might. Like any animal if it figures out that you're afraid of it, it will come after you. You don't have to handle a bird every day for it to respect your space. Just making him move out of your way is enough for him to get the idea that you're in charge. But you should not keep him if you are all ready terrified of him.
 
Well I'm not scared so I just stand still when he chase me I rember my rooster chasing me a I stand still and he just went back and forth at me and then stop also he loves me giving treats to him also yes he is chasing
 
Is this ok very time I open the run I runs at me and I grab a stick to make him stop every day and he stops making sounds
 
You and he have to come to an understanding: that you are not afraid of him, and he should not be afraid of you ...... that you are powerful enough to pick him up at will, yet not need to kill him. The first step in this is for you to convince yourself that you need not be afraid of him- he can not seriously hurt you unless you let him.

You're half way there in managing him. You're missing the follow through. You need to make him move away from you. Sounds like he has learned that 'challenging' you equals food reward. Every time you give him a treat after this behavior, you are saying, "Good job being a jerk, here's some yummy treats." Instead of staying completely still, walk at him. Walk like you mean business. If he doesn't move, walk through him. I don't mean kick him out of your way, or stomp on him. Just don't let the fact that he is in front of you, stop you from walking. If he's not smart enough to realize that he's gonna get stepped on if he doesn't move, that's his problem. You can't be the one to back down.
