HILARIOUS / ODD chick behaviors anyone ??

My 12 week old rooster is scared to crow. He crowed once at 5 weeks old, scared himself so bad that now he won't. Everytime he thinks he might want to, he gets a half strangled screech out before he clamps his mouth shut. Then he refuses to even cluck for a day or so. It cracks me up. I crow at him in the morning and he just looks at me with this "ain't gonna happen," look.

Hi
We got our 6 little chicks today!
I've noticed they sleep like collapsed little lumps all together..or wherever.
But they also snooze looking like they had just keeled over, legs stretched out, cocked on their sides, or face down!!! Like an image to be captioned "kicked the bucket".
On a more sensitive note, they really gave us a start at first when we thought something was wrong, they really look dead when they lay that way.Can't help it, every time I see it to call someone in to look even though we have all seen it by now!
They also wipe their beaks off on the paper towel flooring sometimes after they eat!
They are doing very well and are very cuute!
