My rooster laid an egg

This is hard one, but Im going with he....

I'm not convinced that's a boy. Looks like a wet pullet to me! Especially if it's the same age as the other roo

x3 that's very possible, but then, why would he go in the box?

I have two roos that go into nesting boxes. They make nests for their girls and they will sit on eggs until their hens come back to lay--it is the sweetest thing. They cluck relentlessly until the hens check out what they are doing....It normal for them to do that but it doesnt happen with all roos....

I am not going to guess on the sex of that chicken (I had a molting pullet that looked kinda like that - and it could also be a wet pullet

) , but my roo (100% sure!) is in the nesting box all the time, even sitting with his butt up like he's laying an egg. As others have said, they do it to show em where a nice place might be to lay that egg.

I have a hen that lays eggs and crows. It is possible.

Your bird looks like an EE mix of some type - looks like a standing comb rather than a pea comb? Perhaps this is making ID difficult?

I'd love to see a live video feed of your nestbox
