Hen looks like a rooster

[Clannad]

She really is a hen, but my friends mom insists shes a roo. She never crows and lays eggs lady. We only have 4 it's pretty easy to keep track.

From what I can see, your hen looks like a hen. No male hackle, saddle and sickle feathers. Also, she appears to be a black sex link, with female colouration (a male would be barred). Hens can develop huge combs and wattles, particularly certain breeds and dominant hens.

In short: it looks like a hen, makes hen sounds, and lays eggs. IT'S A HEN! XD

Folks not familiar with production birds can get thrown by the big comb they get. But the basic fact is that if it lays eggs, it's female. I agree that bird has no male characteristics. If it's a big deal to your friend's mom, just smile and nod and move on.

She is a jersey giant crossed with something else. I don't know what else though.

Assuming she's a Black Sex Link as she appears to be, and you know that one of the parents is a Jersey Giant, then the father has to be the Jersey Giant and the mother has to be a barred hen (probably a Barred Rock).

definite pullet UNLESS cockerels start laying eggs

If so Clannad needs to get on with breeding it to her hens. Imagine the money you could make from selling a breed in which both sexes lay eggs! XD
