last week I posted about her and everyone said she was a she but I just wanted to know is it normal for a hen of 9 weeks old to crow? Ughhhhhh I really wanted her to be a hen because MABEL turned out to be a boy so idk.

Oh no! Not sure a hen will crow,
Idk😭I mean I read some do crow but it’s rare or something so now I’m concerned I have 2 roosters now, MABEL hasn’t even began to crow yet but Betty just let it rip earlier and I was like “oh lord”

Sorry to hear that! I can't have a rooster where I am so kept watching and listening to my chicks. So far I believe they are girls.
That comb and wattles are bigger on yours than on mine the same age.
 
Crowing and the amount/redness of the comb and wattle are both points in the roo column.

The backend still looks like a pullet, but that might be due to the age. I usually expect saddle feathers to come in between 10 and 12 weeks.
