When I first got roosters years ago, the best advice I got on here was, don’t let it be his yard, it is always your yard, walk through him. I’m NOT saying kick him but, make him move for you, submissive animals move for dominant animals, if you are moving around him it is his yard. I handle the hens and chicks, they holler, he comes to make sure everyone is ok, sees it is me, walks around concerned but knowing there is nothing he can do, and trusting I won’t hurt them.
