Does he summon those guys with summoning jutsu or are they like chakra crows/genjutsu crows or what? I always thought it was weird that he doesn't draw blood to pull them out, not like we'd have to see him do it every time. Just want some clarification.

Both. He can do various things with them.

He's used them as a medium for clones (such as when he fought Kabuto) in order to confuse the opponent more:

He used them for genjutsu:

And yes, for summons (no blood needed but he does make the hand seal):

Itachi never had a Kuchiyose , or not in the traditional way. His crows possessed an entirely different method of application from the standard Kuchiyose no Jutsu - (Summoning Jutsu) -- Itachi is bound by no limits.

Kuchiyose no Jutsu - Standard

✗. Blood
✗. Chakra + Handseals
✗. Summon

The standard form of Kuchiyose no Jutsu takes three steps, all which end in the summoning traveling through space/time -- appearing before the summoner. Itachi's version severely reduces the amount of steps to perform the Kuchiyose no Jutsu.

Chakra

Itachi's Kuchiyose no Jutsu has only one requirement: Chakra. The properties of the crows solely depend on Itachi's chakra projection -- are all controlled upon manifestation.

Supporting evidence -- Itachi transfers a portion of into each crow -- allowing them to harness + produce the user's . This blatantly shows the crows previously used as a medium for - (Crow Clone) all contain Itachi's chakra -- prior to manifestation.

Supporting evidence -- Itachi had his power -- in the form of a crow, into Naruto. That power being: Kotoamatsukami.

✗. Chakra
✗. Chakra → Crow
✗. Crow → Naruto
✗. Naruto → Kotoamatsukami

Manifesting from within Naruto -- responding to Itachi's chakra/will.

Properties

The properties of Itachi's crows can be changed depending on the chakra deployed prior to manifestation -- -- .

Kuchiyose no Jutsu - Itachi

✗. Blood
✗. Chakra + Handseals
✗. Summon
✗. Chakra

Itachi has been able to catch countless opponents due to needing only one step to summon -- chakra. It takes a small percentage of chakra to perform a Space/Time Jutsu - (Summoning Jutsu). Itachi is bound by no limits.. Accept by his unknown disease..

Both, he can dematerialize and rematerialize at will using Crows or so it seems

Could be a replacement/transformation/substitution jutsu but its unlikely since DSM Kabuto with Sage Senses was not able to track him during the technique.

Also Itachi uses them with Genjutsu too. And materialize the crows into weapons.

And his Crows have individual chakra pools as displayed when this crow used KotoAmatsukami

I've always gone with both.. Itachi's always got genjutsu loaded with crow(s) scoping the area while whether hes using bunshin or not since hes fast enough to produce literally w/e he needs without anyone even the reader knowing how until panels come along explaining the newest form of solo he's produced.

And anyone can pull a log out of their asses so what is the big deal with crows.

It's a big deal because it shows his intelligence. Itachi uses the crows for clones too because it results in confusion for the opponent (with all the birds flapping around) unlike a log that just lies on the ground.

Crows are cooler than hawks and snakes, btw.
