Is this hen a Dominique or Barred Rock? added another pic

[KellyandKatie]

Here is the post about how much we adore this bird https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=64887

and some pictures of her if that will help

let me get one of where she is actually standing and not being carried

I really hope it is a hen- I just do not want to upset my neighbors with crowing is all

Here are some of her just standing

Thanks for the pictures, that is helpful, she does have a large comb and facial red for a girl, maybe she is just older? The lady told me she was one, but then again, she also told me she was a she
But her tail is not near as pretty as your rooster's tail
I will cross my fingers for no crowing hen- she is just so sweet and docile and calm and nice - and yeah- did I mention we really like this bird?
Thank you again for the help

Take another look at that comb, its definately a dominique.
Barred Rocks have single combs.
Lack of longer tail feathers and dark coloration point to it being a hen.

That's really strange, she has the body of a female, and the facial features of a male..Did the women you got her from have any roosters? Some hens will "turn into" roosters if there is a lack of one.

No that's a dominique, deffiently not a barred rock. Look at his comb, domiques have rose combs and barred rocks have single combs..

And her legs are still yellow, so she can't be that old.

 

[KellyandKatie]

Yeah, she had a very outspoken, rooster rooster and not a terribly large flock.
I know with my ducks, the girls start off with smaller facial features, but then even old hens ( with ducks I am saying) get really red in the face and fuller features- do chickens age this way too maybe?
Are there any ways to age a chicken once it is full grown?

That definately looks like a hen

That is a Dom. hen. Perfectly Polish, I dont understand your comment about her legs still being yellow? Dom. shank color is yellow, but can have a dark wash down the shanks.

I just noticed that post LOL Yes, dominiques are supposed to have yellow legs, they don't change with age...
