I will post some pictures soon.
The chicken in question does not crow and is a bit more than four months old. It makes a bawk or a loud coo sound, which my hen makes too. (I know the hen is a hen since she has started laying eggs.) This chicken makes the noises at a far louder sound though. I can't find any spurs and the tail feathers aren't very long. It's quite confusing. XD

But what about the comb? isn't it a bit large for a pullet?
 
I would say pullet that could lay any day now LOL. Pics aren't great for sexing but it seems to have thin small legs, and clearly has rounded saddle feathers. Maybe a leghorn cross with that comb? Donrea is rarely wrong on sexing!!!

Nope, she's just about to start laying. Her saddle feathers are nice and rounded, not long pointy and shiny. I have/have had hens with combs even a little larger than that. No Leghorns either, a certain Ideal Poultry Barred Rock hen comes to mind....
 
Thank you then! My husband was adamant that it was a male because of the size of the comb.

I do have a few questions on the personality though. The chicken is fine with human attention, but pecks and kicks at other chickens. Quite aggressive, which is also why I thought it could be a rooster.

Anyways, thank you all~ ^^
