A little odd. I've heard from most sources that cockerels crow at 6-8 weeks. But from the picture, Mortimer may be a good name to consider.

You can look on youtube, but I've seen videos of week old cockerels trying to crow. So, yea... yours is probably a cockerel.

Why do chickens lay like this (aka on it’s side)?!! I’ve been searching this forum and google for months. All that comes up is they are dirt bathing. But dirt bathing on a wooden deck? I don’t think so. One of mine does the same which is why I ask.

Soaking up the sunshine.

Ours was about 4.5 weeks. We thought someone was being murdered in the bathroom, as it was about 1:30 am! It was the most pathetic crow, and we giggled insanely when we figured out what it was.
