There are exeptions, sometimes, in a chicken group without a rooster, one of the chickens will take the part of the rooster. They will start to make weird crowing-like noises (ofcourse they cant really crow, they just make some kind of ulgly noise) and it will start gathering chickens when it finds food (roosters make a particular high pitched clocking sound when it finds food, it does it to gather the hens to offer them the food so he can mate with them).
The chicken won't actually turn into a real rooster ofcourse, it'll just copy some behaviour. One of my chickens does it too, it's really funny.
