My Salmon Faverolle hen is crowing!

Has anyone had their Faverolle hen crow? My girl is very obviously a hen, but she's taken to imitating the young roosters in the brooder. She's a little over two months old. Any thoughts?

I have a question - occasionally Gracie makes a raspy kind of crowy sound. Its quiet but its definitely more like a rooster is supposed to do.
she makes lots of weird sounds and no clucks. And she does lay eggs. She purrs a lot and growls all the time too.

So if its not an attempt to crow what the heck is it?

From my experience hens will sometimes attempt to crow like the boys they wanna feel tough to I guess they will often do it more of they are a group of hens with no roo to protect them my serama hens crowed all the time and I hatched eggs from them
