Hen or Rooster?

[farmingchic]

i bought this chicken yesterday. Chicken is 1 year old. She is suppose to be a hen, a maran/polish mix. She has some pretty long spurs. I know some hens can grow spurs, but doesn’t that normally happen in older hens. Is there any other way I can tell if it’s a hen or rooster? Or do I just have to wait to see if she lays or crows? Thanks in advance.

100% that’s a Hen.

If the hens left ovary was destroyed by an infection, then the right ovary might develop into a testicle and the hen will exhibit male characteristics. Idk if that's the case with this hen but it is a possibility.

She may just not be a very productive layer as egg production in Polish is variable.

Well I have a couple of hens that crow sometimes. Looks like a hen. My dad had one that covered hens, crowed, layed eggs and hatched chicks.
