Sexing barred rocks

[Gilliagan]

How can I tell the barred rock roosters apart from the hens? They are now 2months old. Thanks!

The boys should be lighter colored w/ more barring and should have started developing larger/redder combs.

Is it possible for a hen to be light colored?

 

[Gilliagan]

Sorry, I haven't had time to post pictures. I will get to it sometime today.

This article is about Doms, but applies to Barred Rocks as well. Good pics in it, too.
