First shot shows the "neutral" head and I was able to capture some of the essence of his coloring

In the second shot he is side by side with a 10 month old Mohawk RR cockerel. I thought it shows nice width on both. You can also see the little hen that is his mother. The little hen with the orange neck in the background.

He is known as Percy to us. Not real passive as has been described for some capons. Not aggressive but does stand his ground especially when it comes to food. His mother is the dominant hen as well.
Took another pic of our capon today. He does seem to be putting on weight. I think he turned 1yo in Oct.'14. Nice contrast in the head of a yearling cockerel and the capon. I didn't get a shot of his "bum" but he has a wide, fully-feathered rump end just as if you were looking at a hen.
