I have a Quail Belgian Bearded D'anver chick that hatched last year and I don't know if it is a hen or rooster

That is a hen because there is no curled tail, saddle and hackle feathers. Curled tail, saddle and hackle feather are rooster feather.

A rooster mostly would have crow by now.
 
It looks like a pullet. But, are you sure of both parents being Quail Belgian Bearded D'anver?

While there were Rhode Island Reds with the D'anvers I had a hen and roos of booth breeds out there. I think that it is a D'anver hen that layed her eggs but it was Rhode Island Red hen that hatched and raised the chick but I don't know that it is a full D'anver
