I bought 6 colored layers off of Craigslist and one which I know now is a boy. It crows and tidbits for the ladies at just 4 weeks old. My 3 month old roosters
aren’t even crowing yet. My mind is blown.
On a 20% starter/grower that’s all my other chicks are on. Crop didn’t feel hard but was full. I don’t see any bloody poop in the brooder but there’s 5 other Easter Eggers and 4 smaller chicks in with the sick chick.

I think these chicks are about 5 weeks now. Both Prairie Bluebell Easter Eggers. If both of my Eggers are boys I’m gonna be a little upset. Sorry about the quality these are screen shots from a video of them dust bathing.
