    Is there such thing as a "nice" roo

    So far my EE roo is fairly docile towards everyone in the family that enters the coop...but I keep my eye on him anyway. He sure is a "Randy" one though...he has pulled my sweet lil' EE head feathers out. I had to dr. her once already...and she still has a bald spot.

    Well I don't know what the feathering condition is but the look on her face say "Dude, this just ain't no way to treat a lady! "
