no way to be positive, but I would not think much more than a year, if that quite. That is my sense, looking at the pictures, he looks younger not older..... that that is a guess.
I had a rooster in a similar situation, when I got him, he was missing feathers, and wearing battle scars. When he was introduced the top hen knocked him on his a55. But he jumped up, and in a few days those silly hens thought he was wonderful.
He is going to be eye candy. Enjoy.

I have a RIR roo. 16-17 weeks. His sicke feathers are growing. No spurs. There's just a dot where spurs will be. His legs don't have the feathers that your roo does. Wild Bill was a pullet so I was told when purchased. All 4 were pullets. But I had a wild card in the bunch hence Wild Bill. I'd like to keep him, that's the plan but if he gets too aggressive, injures me or the girls I'll have to rehome him. Don't want too. He's a nice bird and part of the family.
Let your roo continue to be standoffish. It's a sign of respect for you. Most of the roosters we hear of "going bad" here were treated as pets, thus they lose all respect for humans. I'd advise not to let him on your shoulders, to not treat him so much as a pet and he'll be a better animal for you.I could never take a stick to my peeps. I pick them up every day but I don't make a pest of myself. When I'm done with what I need to do inside their house, I sit outside watching them. I thinks it's awesome you pay close attention to 40+ chickens. That's great. Today I was in the pen sitting on my stool scooping the sand. I had my girls climbing on my shoulder. I thought it was great. My roo is getting a little more stand-offish but I still pick him up and hold him. As I said he'll stay as long as he doesn't turn mean. I've read that he'll go through some changes as he matures then settle back down. I won't give up that easily
