We bought a flock of 10 pullets a while back and in the past few months ive been noticing this one. It never crows or mounts the other chickens but it really looks like a rooster to me. Maybe its the breed and it really is a hen?

Pullet

She does have unusually large wattles, plus a big comb, so that's probably why you thought she looked more manly. But it's the feathering that tells them apart. Males would have pointy saddle, hackle, and sickle feathers.
Here is a Leghorn rooster. Notice the feather difference?
