Buff Brahma, 11 weeks

I would pet him and pick him up so he doesn't get too mean. He should be fine with the little one.

Bantams can jump and flog a child easily. Any bird has the potential - you don't want an aggressive bird regardless of size or breed

True, but she doesn’t find his size a contributing factor and isn’t afraid of him. A 12 pound bird might be different.

Not to completely disagree with @FarmerGirl101, but with my own rooster I've found the below approach works best. Mind you, I bought my rooster when he was 2 years old, a couple of months back, and he's the sweetest gentleman with his flock. He's never looked at me or my kids aggressively, BUT... I don't pick him up, I don't treat him at all, I treat the girls and coo at them, but not him. He gets out of my way and respects me as a result.
