I have got to say I am a little worried. You know how they can change so quickly and not always to the good. Praying he ends up good.Thank you chooks man!

don t worry about it too much .keep him safe and healty that all what you have to do .
the majority of trait are apparent and will not change to worst . like his body type .it is correct and is going to stay correct . his back is not going tobecome shorter .
the only thing you have to worry about is his manner may change .keep him domisticated don t let him go wild .
the other thing are the parasitic white ,some time they appear late 18 months of age .
Fertility .
side spig some time they appear late too .

Love those leg bands. I think I need them. I did wing bands red numbered for my starting birds. Then babies got different colored numbered wing bands for variety and pens they came from. They will also get colored leg bands. All I have are spiral. I keep everything logged in my book.
