First crow!

My rooster, Cowboy, crowed for the first time today, it was weak and he nearly fell over while crowing but it was surprisingly strong, not as weak as normal first crow.

Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

I think their first attempts at crowing are hilarious! It reminds me of young boys going through puberty when their voices crack and break with high notes and low notes. I just smile at the little roos and know that they're growing up fast

Both, I mean I think his balance is bad because he might’ve had splay leg when he was younger but it’s kind of… worrisome

But I meant do you want to keep, or do you have to get rid of? Although the way you say it makes it sound like your keeping.

Oh I’m definitely keeping him, he’s super sweet, still pretty dumb but I love him

Some vitamins won't hurt him if you haven't given them already...

I’ve been putting a couple drops of this really strong mineral stuff into their water every few days.

Those are probably fine if they are for chick/chicken development. Chickens need a very specific set of vitamins for healthy growth.
Take a look at this information and compare to what you're giving. If he's not getting the vitamins he needs as part of the "mineral stuff", you might want to find a supplement that does.
Here's a good page explaining the vitamins and minerals that chickens require:

I love hearing the cockerels grow up and start crowing!
