no crowing, but she is huge. male or female?

Looks like a hen to me, but more recent pictures would help. I have had a two year old hen start crowing just out of the blue. Her crow was even better than the rooster’s!

My buff orpington Hollis likes to crow.

Ah, but I am thinking this is a case of “damaged ovary, trans hen” not “rooster that became a rooster when he was a year old.”

so this is the "rooster". 1 pic of what my hens look like. He does a loud ...ert-a-ert-a rrrrrr. something like that, a rooster crow. Never has laid an egg. Maybe hes just really laid back. Everyone is 50/50 on the gender. I am still keeping it regardless. Its been interesting with all the opinions. thanks everyone

I agree with the previous poster who said it could be a damaged ovary or something of the sort, making it a hermaphrodite. Thatd explain why the no eggs, the late crow, and the more masculine look. So maybe everyone here was correct the whole time ​

I see zero male specific traits. I think you've got one of those special crowing hens.
