I was googling hens that look like roosters when I found you all. Never had a rooster before not sure he will be good with the kiddos.

Time will tell if he's a good fit with youngsters, some are, some aren't. Just watch carefully, roosters can hurt little kids.

Rooster have extremely varied personalities.

You try interacting with him first, and if he proves trustworthy, slowly start to introduce others.

Lots of good posts on here regarding good Roos vs bad Roos.

It's very possible he won't. It's also very possible that if he is left alone (as in not chased or grabbed), he will be just fine. I have several currently that I would be comfortable with very small children being around if they were supervised.
