Does she crow ? Does he lay eggs ? Nice looking bird .

No she does not crow, but if she is a hen she will start laying in about 3 weeks

Hello, guess you'll find out soon (looks like a male to me but keep us posted)!

This is Heniffer one of my two 15 week old brown leghorns. She seems to be near the bottom of the pecking order, she is very nice to the other chickens. The thing that makes me confused is the BIG comb (a pinkish color) and waddle. Is this normal for chickens? What do you think she is? Hen or Rooster?

I believe brown leghorns are sexed by color, males would be darker, with a black chest. This is a cockerel for reference: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/brown-leghorn-a-roo-or-hen.677072/

I was just joking . No bad intentions intended

Well I put my money on @The Moonshiner to tell you what sex it is . I think he is a Leghorne breeder .

Yes that is a pullet without question.
