Instructions
Don't fight the rooster if he attacks, as a rooster will just fight you again the next time he sees you, even if you win. Instead, withdraw slowly to indicate you aren't a threat.
Don't scare or surprise the rooster by walking directly toward him. If the rooster is giving you signals that he is feeling threatened --- such as nervously shifting from one foot to the other --- back off a bit and take another route. Don't make loud noises that may startle or surprise the rooster, which may lead the rooster to believe that you want to fight him for dominance. Keep your voice calm and even.
Feed the rooster grain when he is calm and relaxed around you. That way, the rooster will come to associate you with food rather than seeing you as a fellow rooster who may be a threat to his dominance. It's okay to make eye contact with the rooster once he realizes you are not a threat, and he may even cautiously greet you by making eye contact and slowly flapping his wings. Avoid making eye contact when a rooster is an aggressive state, however, as a rooster may interpret this as a challenge.
Keep practicing these techniques and be patient, and realize that it may take time for the rooster to gradually warm to your presence.
How to Make a Rooster Not Attack You
A dominant rooster can be a real pain for chicken owners, as he will attack you and generally be an aggressive nuisance whenever you get near his flock. However, you don't have to accept the rooster's behavior toward you, and your own actions can determine how a rooster responds to you. You can follow a few steps to deal with unwanted rooster behavior and help the bird realize that you are not a rival rooster.
