At a whole 29weeks old one of my RIR's finally layed an egg! Of course it was when I was out of town for the weekend. I'm super egg-cited lol

So I'm curious if I was to add a full grown Roo to my flock how long it would take for him to be tame. Ive seen lots of Roos for sale on my local chicken pages I follow. Most of them will say, "he's great", "awesome personality", "likes to be held", etc.. Although that may be true for the ones...
