    My 4 day old chick won't stop crowing...thats right, crowing

    Yup. I didn't think it was possible. My hubby and I thought we heard it yesterday, but today the little guy just crows and crows. I didn't think they would start to crow until they were at least several weeks old, thats how every other batch of chicks were ? I should get a video of it
