10-week-old Bantam ... trying to crow??

[MIChickandGuinea]

I got a video of my little critter singing his song this morning. Isn't he silly?! I actually don't know which of the little boys is the one - as soon as I get really close to them, they start cheeping and flapping, thinking I must be bringing treats.

I've got four Sebrights, currently six weeks old headed for seven weeks. Two are crowing now, if you can call it that. They try! It sounds like a squeaky hinge. One started to crow at four weeks, the other at five weeks. The first one crows in the morning usually, the second one crows at night usually. It's hilarious to watch.

I have several sebrights in this batch, so maybe it's one of them, and they're just early talkers.

It sounds like a creaking door hinge lol. Too funny!

It certainly sounds like mine do!

Could one of my little boy bantams already be trying to crow at 10 weeks old? For a few days when I would take the dog out in the mornings, I thought I had ... I didn't even know what, like an angry raccoon or other forest critter hanging out near the coops, making bizarre screeching sounds. Then this morning, I realized that it was a sound coming from the coop itself, and it's not like any chicken sound I've heard before. The only thing I can think is that it's the start-up noises by a little guy who is trying to crow, but they seem much too young for that! My full-size rooster (a spring baby like these ones) didn't crow till September the year we had him.

I hatched 7 Bantam chicks. The one that had all the signs of being a hen ( long straight tail feathers rounded) started to sound like she ( he) is trying to crow, Could this chick still be a hen ?
