Mine went from lanky to bulky at around 7 months. I've been really pleased with how my Wellie roos get along, treat their girls and respect my space.
Well I should have knocked on wood when I made this post. The two roos got into a fight last night while I was in the barn. It was a fairly even match as they are both identical in size and height. Their coloring is identical too so I told them apart by counting the points on their combs. One has 5 points and the other had 6. Now they both have 5 points and both are missing patches of feathers here and there. Now I'll have to tell them apart by whether or not there is a gap between their 2nd and 3rd points.
On the good side, when I went into the Wellie pen to break up the fight they submitted to "the big roo" quickly and were done with it. It wasn't like the fights between the RIR or Marans roos where I end up getting bitten or spurred before I can get them separated.

My boys usually start to bulk up around 6-7 mos like Len said, all of a sudden you won't believe your eyes. My Wellies are not exactly loveable like my Marans but they certainly are not flightly or unfriendly. They have great personalities and dispositions.

I know how you feel about the point thing........the girls decided that my best Marans roo didn't need his first point so now telling him apart from one of his sons would be nearly impossible except for the numbered band. Good thing I did that. Naughty girls, being mean.
