Could she be a he?

Hello, I got this barred rock pullet almost 3 months ago. She has grown a ton! I was told she was purchased from TSC chick days in Feb. so she would be roughly 7 months. Im not sure if she is laying. I never catch her up in nesting box and I’m not noticing any extra eggs especially to the point of what she should be laying and this morning she was doing a weird half crow sound that I’ve never heard her make. She isn’t mounting any other hens and she is my biggest bird in my flock.

That's a Cockerel...

He's a cockerel, and not a barred rock. His barring is really all over the place. I think he's likely to be a male black sex link.

Here's the first obvious reason he's male, below, his male saddle feathers. The second is actually how light his barring is. If he was a barred rock, he'd be male colored... its just that his barring isn't even, which is why I think BSL.

ETA: Do you have another cockerel or rooster?

No I actually live in a township that I can’t have roosters. So this becomes a little problematic for me now that he is crowing I need to rehome. I got him when he was half the size. Guy was downsizing his flock and told me he was a she
