Crowing Hen?????

Hi guys
I'm new to Backyard Chickens and, therefore, a new poster so I hope it's okay to hop onto this thread. I have 4 hens, all ex-battery, all about 4 years old. They were originally a flock of 10 (but my ex-has been a bad parent - long story, maybe another time!) and this hen (who is called Rooster for the reason she used to break out of the run, was impossible to catch and we'd find her roosting in a tree at dusk) was not officially top hen. That was Chook (who was the first to arrive and has been a quiet leader although she's let others be bossy. Chook has been ill (and still is off colour) and the previous bossy girl died a few weeks ago. Rooster has been quite bossy with the other 2 but as of yesterday she's suddenly started crowing. I am mortified. I brought my hens from my ex's about a month ago to live on my allotment but I wasn't happy with them being there (a mile away from me, no shade, no shelter, I was concerned about all threats - human, fox and elements) so brought them home. I rent a house and didn't clear it with my landlady (sure she'll say no), one direct neighbour has hens, haven't talked to the other one about them at all but she must have seen them. If Rooster is going to carry on I can't keep them here! So my question is, is she going to carry on???!

Once started, I am afraid that she will most likely carry on.
