Well I last posted asking to identify my beautiful new chicken and as I kind of already new the response was that "he" was an EE cockerel. It didn't matter I loved him to death he is handsome and has such a sweet disposition. 3 days ago after I went out fed them and spoke to them as I always do before I head off to work he jumped on their perch and crowed 3 times. Not the most manly crows but a good start. I was very proud of him but then this morning he did his 3 crows and my Amerucana who I never had any inkling might be a cockerel also let out a very short, hoarse, pitiful crow. Will females do this to mimic the male??? She is very bossy and a little bit of a bully and I'm not sure how its gonna work out if she is a male. Please help me. I don't want to get rid of her/him.
 
There are some hens that will crow, but in my experience they have been older birds. Can you post a picture of the bird in question?

Those are the 2 best photos I have of her/him. She/he is really jumpy and is hardly ever still.
