Is it possible for a Salmon Favorolle hen to crow or do I absoluately have a rooster?

[KellyAdams72]

My Hens are about 3-4 months old and a few days ago one of my "girls" distinctly started crowing. 3 or 4 times in a row. But "she" has not done it since. Also it was amongst the flock on the ground, not high on a perch. I don't see much difference in size from the other Salmon Favorolle that I have in either the body or the comb and waddle, but maybe slightly larger, it is hard to say. but it definitely eats like a teenage boy. It has always been trying to establish dominance over the flock but my older hens have squashed any hopes of that happening. I don't see any signs of the "dance" that roosters tend to do and it is not aggressive toward me or my daughter. is it possible that it is a hen but was agitated and therefore was crowing out of frustration? you'll have to excuse the tiny top hat. these are the only current pictures I have. Hopefully someone can still tell me if that is the comb of a rooster or a hen.

Looks like a rooster to me but to answer your question. Yes a hen can crow there is an old saying. Beware a hen that crows and a woman that whistles. Years back it was considered bad luck and the hen would be culled.

Ummm...if that's a SF, it's a male. Females have peach and cream colored bodies...creamy/white muffs and beards...not dark colors like in your pic. So if both of yours are colored the same, I'd say you have two males...

Above is a cut/paste pic of a SF male - dark in beard

He's a male. As teach1rusl showed, male Salmon Faverolles have different coloring than females. What do your other Faverolles look like? If they look like this one, they might be males, too.
