I have 2 17 week old roo's ( well whom I think are roo's ) and I have seen no sign of roo -ish behavior yet.. I have one hen that is laying out of 8 and they are all the same age.
here is a couple of pics.. roo's right?

I recently learned that with barred rocks, the hens are darker than the roosters because they carry both chromosomes. Hope this helps!
 
i see sharp pointy saddle feathers on the butt end of their backs. that and their lighter hue say roo to me. but i'm new to this so best to get confirmation from some pros.
