Around 8 to 10 weeks if you feel down their legs you should have a tiny bump (you can barely feel it but it is considerably noticeable) towards the bottom part by the feet. If there is a bump on each leg in that area it is obviously a rooster. Hens never get these as it is the beginning signs of their spurs. At least that is how I confirm my suspicions. Roos definitely carry themselves different than hens and I am usually able to tell just by watching for a few mins here and there but just to be sure I always check out the legs. Hope it helps.
