Firstly, the bird will either be a hen or a rooster, just to clarify ;) Hens can have spurs, it is 'rare' however. Also, when you do not have a rooster in with a flock of hens, one hen will assume the dominant role of flock protector, or alpha hen. This means that her comb will grow larger and more red, and she might even begin to mount the other hens and/or crow. This does not mean she is a rooster, but she is simply filling in his place.
Female=hen, Male=rooster
