Hi everyone so excited I have 6 hens and 6 barred rock dibbies 3 weeks old. When will I be able to tell if I have hens or roosters.

I'm glad you joined us.

You should be able to tell when they are around 4 weeks old, by looking at coloring. You should be pretty sure by the time they are all feathered in (8 weeks or so).

So glad you could join our community!

Enjoy your babies! Usually around a month or so the cockerels will start to look much different from the pullets. You might post some pics in the What Gender section of the forums then.

Welcome to our flock!
