Help! One of my chickens sounds like a rooster

I updated my profile with a photo of our Ameracauna hen, who is cackling like a roo! Can anyone tell me if this chicken is a roo?
 
This morning I was outside, just at sunrise was starting and I heard, what sounded like to me, a crowing noise. I hurried to my coop to see who was making the sound, but as you probably already guessed the sound stopped and all the girls had ,"I-didn't-do-it-look" on their faces. I have never heard it before and none of my girls acts like a rooster.I mean we have the bossy one who lets everyone know she is the first to the salad, but I haven't seen any real aggressive behavior, and despite the occasional solo adventure round the field, they all hangout out together. I got them in September, when they were about a month or so old. I do only find 3-4 eggs from my 6 girls. I have a large field that they free range, and despite all my efforts I haven't found the secret nesting spot. It's crazy hot here right now, so I figured they just aren't laying as much.
Do you think my crowing sound was just a girl trying to act tough? Could I have a tomchick? Thanks for your help!
