I'm positive #4 is because I heard him gobble the other day.
 
1&3 seem to be developing that somewhat `vulturine' shaped skull (kinda cubic) so sex is male, #2's skull appears slightly more ovoid so I'll guess female. However, if one is into the `honking gobble' phase, any other males should start to reply, real soon now. Is there a clear difference between the `gobbler's' length of leg and the others? Males legs tend to get longer and more substantial in the joints faster.

Let me know how much I've lost on the bet

i see 2 toms and 1 hen for sure, the other not 100% sure but tend to lean tom
