Lil' Roo was an 8-inch-tall rooster who was a Mille Fleur d’Uccle which is a Belgian breed of chicken that crossed a Booted Bantam with a Bearded d’Anver Bantam. Mille Fleur is French for “a thousand flowers," referring to the dots on the feathers.
Lil' Roo was a loner who was found and brought to the farm. His job was to wake folks up and clean up after the other animals.
