What are rooster characteristics?

[greeneggchick15]

I have a chick that acts like it's crowing but no sound comes out and he tries really hard! Does that mean it's a rooster or does he have a hairball? Sorry I'm used to domestic pets!

Well, chickens don't have hairballs, mainly because they don't have hair. Chicks don't crow that early, so it has something caught in its throat. I hope it's not gapeworm. I would suggest posting this in the "Emergencies/ Diseases / Injuries and Cures" forum saying that you have a chick making "crowing" actions. Good luck.
