Yes, they can take on the characetrisitics of their parents, however, I had a youngster who was aggressive from 18 to 22 days of age, and it was easy to tell he was a boy. He pecked at me and wing slapped and even tried to roo-koo and do circle dances......it was amazing. BUT he took after his mom-she is aggressive, because his dad is a wimp on being territorial and claiming his own cubby.

His voice is changing because he is maturing (at the teenage stage) and that is why he sounds like a duck. I have also had a few aggressive babies, that turned out to be hens.
