My EE roo is 5 mo old, and so far very sweet and good with the ladies. We can pick him up and he will almost fall asleep while stroking his head. Plus he doesn't crow too much, only hear him a few times a day.
My RIR is evil incarnate! I need to cull him but just haven't got the guts yet. This thread is interesting to me because I do love having a roo, but I wan't one that isn't so violent!!
