Hens will sometime attempt to mimic a rooster if no rooster is present within a flock.
Usually the alpha hen, the top of the pecking order takes on the role of protector of the flock in the absence of a male. This can, but not always include the mimicry of the sounds a rooster makes.

Yes because all male chickens are roosters. unless they have some type of defect they will all crow like a rooster cuz they are roosters
Yes. They are a heavy breed, and usually have a very low, gravely crow, but it can also be very clear.
Silkie roosters do but they are usually less boisterous than other breeds.
The hens are usually quiet and docile making little or no noise except just after laying an egg.
Yes they do crow I have 5 and they crow every morning and sometimes when I am feeding them - like saying thank you
Actually it is the rooster that crows, the hens sometimes make attempts to mimic the rooster but it comes out as a cackle. The reason the rooster crows is to communicate. He will crow to announce to the world that he is on guard and watching over his flock, he crows to let his hens (and other roosters hens) where he is and how to find him. They crow to warn of danger when a predator is spotted. He will crow in response to a hen announcing she has laid an egg. They often crow just to tell the world they are doing what roosters do.
to show domination to warm hens if something is wrong and just be annoying
i believe a roster crows at dawn to wake up all the hens and also to protect its teritory. also another reason would be to warn animals thathe is awake and looking to see if any other animal is there.
A female crow is called a crow. They do not have a special name that distinguishes them from their male counterparts. Crow: nothing under Female Bird: Hen
