This is my first time raising chickens and my family and I love it! We are a little confused about one of the 4 sexed araucana pullets we bought from Rural King. They are approximately 3 mos old and one of them (Gypsy) is crowing! Its pretty cool and she does it at about 630 am, throughout the day, and any time we approach the run. My question is, could she be a roo? I really hope not because we would have to rehome him as we are within city limits. Here are some pictures:

Cockerel. Although some pullets/hens will start to crow in the absence of a cockerel/rooster.

That is a 100% Easter Egger cockerel!
 
Usually only older hens with no rooster around will crow because they are taking the role of the rooster. The red comb, splotchy pattern, and red patches on the shoulders indicated cockerel. You have a lovely EE.
