I was told she was an Araucana when I bought her. I'm not so sure. She has really long olive green legs, and she's quite large for a 7 month old pullet.

Looks like a EE and also it is a Cockerel.

It came from a McMurry order of pullets only, is what I was told from the guy I bought her from. Why do you think this is a rooster??
 
She hardly makes any noise. And the other hens totally dominate her.

The chicken in the foreground is an EE cockerel and he won't be quiet for much longer, he is already getting saddle feathers. The chicken in the background looks like a white leghorn hen. The person you got him from was probably just mistaken about its sex. It is notoriously difficult to sex an EE early.
 
The curved tail feathers, the red patches in the wings & coloring all point to "her" being a rooster. I agree. No eggs from this one.
