Just hatched Coturnix Quail chick crowing!!!!

Anyone seen this before? starts at 1.08 minutes in, based on this I'm assuming this chick is male?! first one to hatch so maybe panicking as alone lol all the others hatched successfully, I had a great hatch this time from posted eggs! 12/12!!!! a 100% hatch rate not often heard of with posted eggs so I am pleased

I would say calling for his momma!

I think he's just chirping like any newly hatched chick would. My most recent hatch, all of my chicks chirped just like that, so hopefully, the "chirping chick is a roo" theory is incorrect.

Hi, I am pretty sure the chick is actually crowing as a male quail would, just heard him doing it again a minute ago, as clear as day! most unusual, I have hatched many quail before and yes they chirp but this one is actually doing the crow but on a smaller scale lol!
