All I know is that the roosters are usually lighter colored than the hens.

My understanding is that sexing Barred Rocks and Dominiques is similar - here's a very informative link with photos:

Oil gland???

They're lighter because they carry two copies of the barred gene, rather than the females who carry only one copy.​
