What's this noise? Do I have a rooster?

Hi all!

While my husband was outside this morning one of our girls (*hopefully*) made the strangest noise and we're beginning to wonder if we may actually have a cockerel on our hands...I'm including a video in the hopes that someone can tell me what it is and if she just decided she wanted to be unusually noisy today. They're all about 13.5 weeks.

Here's a new link: https://photos.app.goo.gl/nA9ag97LzZhW4MBy8 Not sure if this one will work either, but figured I'd try again.

Attaching pics, too, in case they'll help! They're not the best pics because these girls like to move LOL

I see all pullets. Do your neighbours have chickens?
Sometimes the hens which don't live with a rooster can show rooster behaviour, like crowing. But I think they're a bit young to that, usually happens with older hens as far as I know.
 
So weird! https://photos.app.goo.gl/nA9ag97LzZhW4MBy8 << Not sure if that link will work or not...

Appreciate your help! When I went back and watched the video I was like oh no...
I can see the video with both the links 🤔
That really sounds like a cockerel that's learning how to crow. But the strange thing is that all your chickens seem to be pullets

Yay! I'm still new to this, so whenever they do something that seems a little odd/different I start to panic 😂. We do have some folks down the street that have chickens and a rooster that we can hear (we all have about 2.5 acres or a little more around here) but none super close.
