My 3 month old rooster is trying to crow but no sound. Everything's else about him is fine. Besides he was picking out his feathers but they are growing back. Is it normal for them to try to crow and no sound. He cries when the other hen leaves him. So he makes noise.

I recently lost a rooster, but with two batches of 4 chicks I was worried I'd got multiple roosters from that action. Hopefully I only have the one lol
Long ago, I had heard about an occasional baby chick crowing, but I never quite accepted the idea until I had one myself.
It happened at around five or six weeks of age when one of my cuckoo marans chicks let loose with a piercing squeak of a crow complete, note for note, exactly as a rooster would right at my feet. If I doubted what I had just heard, he then proceeded to mount another baby chick.
It wasn't so much the baby chick crowing that alarmed me, but his extremely precocious and aggressive behavior. I decided without much hesitation to cull.
