It's probably hard for the rooster to understand being a pet, while at the same time learning to be in charge of the flock. I would personally just drop the whole idea of him being a pet. Just let him be a rooster.

We have big brains and we can think about these things, they can't. Going back in after the incident and chasing him around won't teach him anything, except that you are oddly violent and not to be trusted. He can't remember the incident with your son, and can't understand that it's the reason you are now chasing him; any corrections have to happen pretty much instantaneous with the infraction. Even so much as 2 seconds later, they can not understand what it's about.

Oh, thank you! The poster was doing severe harm chasing the poor fella around. Just let him be!
