Rooster going after a kid is not ok. When i have an iffy rooster i hand the kid a piece of half inch pvc a couple feet long with instructions only to use if rooster starts to chase them. If one gives me trouble i carry a pvc pipe like a walking stick between my old roo and i, reminding him I'm boss without hitting him. Today. A few years ago he got bopped for coming after me. Beats having to cook them.
