Is this a Rooster or Hen?

[Dancnbaby]

Our neighbors found this chicken/rooster roaming in their yard for the past two days. We tried to find the owners but think maybe someone just dumped it. Is it a rooster or hen? Can anyone tell by the photos?

Thanks

Looks more like a rooster. I can tell by hearing better than sight with chickens once they are close to mature.

Looks like a hen. She’s a very pretty girl!

I was carrying it to see if it belonged to someone and it crowed like a roster. Other than that, it's not made a lot of noise. It faced off with all my other hens. We can't have roosters here, so I need to find out sooner or later.

Do they ever crow like a roster if they are stressed? I was carrying it for about 5 minutes and it started to wiggle and then let out a crow.

We had a very old hen and she would crow. We didn’t have a rooster at the time so she wanted to take the place of a rooster. She even would try to mate withe the other hens, but as far as being stressed and crowing i’m not sure.

Thank you. Do I just wait to see if it happens to crow? It looks young to me. Once I caught it, it was very chill. It did start to wiggle and let out a crow, so that has me worried. We can't have rosters here.

I do not use the crow vocalization, rather I listen to pitch and subtle differences in contact calls they make.

You may have to wait to hear it crow or if an egg is laid. The comb looks pretty red.
