Not typically. Any breed of hen can make a crowing sound but it is often done by hens in a flock that has no rooster. The alpha hen in a flock of chickens without a rooster will often take over the "guard" duties of a rooster.

Why do chicken crow?
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.
