How do you tell the gender of your chickens?

My chickens are 4 months old now and I wanted to make sure they were all girls. How do you tell? I want to check and make arrangements with a friend if any of them are roosters.

Post pictures on this thread. There's some really smart people on here that can help you. At 16 weeks it should be pretty obvious

If any were males they should be very obvious by behavior and begin crowing around 16 weeks.

It depends on the breed, but males usually have much larger combs and wattles. They like to fluff up their neck feathers and put themselves between any threat and their girls. They also are usually more colorful, and have long, curly tails.
