Hi this is my first post on BYC!! I'm new to chickens and got these lovely ladies 6 weeks ago. I believe they are around 20+ weeks. Can someone please reassure me they are all hens? We aren't getting any eggs around here but it's also been very hot.

The first two are definitely roosters. I'm not sure about the bottom picture, but the pictures of the birds between those are females.

. Now I have to figure out what to do with them since we can't have them here. By the way, the last pic is the same bird as the 2nd pic.
 
sorry i think they are hens if they are 20 plus weeks old the patterns on their necks make it hard to tell, can you see any saddle feathers by their tails?

It seems to be split on whether the white one is a she or he. Here's two more pics:





And another picture of the mystery EE who is younger (like maybe 15 weeks) and sprouted his/her comb overnight:




What do you think?
