Is my hen a rooster?!

[Caityvoss]

Hi! I’m new to raising chickens and I live in a residential neighborhood. I recently got rid of my rooster but not I have what I thought was a hen crowing even more frequently than he was, eventually I will get complaints on it. She doesn’t look like a rooster to me or at least what my other rooster looked like, and she wasn’t crowing until after he left.
