    Large Very pretty EE Roo very friendly

    I have an pretty EE Roo who likes to be held, petted, and eats out of your hand. I have never seen this behavior before in a roo. He is not the Alpha roo though. He is so mellow. I told my 12DD she need to work with him and show him in 4H. She is the one who holds and pets him the most.
