can some help me sex chickens please

[chickenlover47]

Okay I got these four chickens back in June of 2014. The white one I know for sure is a hen because she has been laying eggs. Now my gray one was supposed to lay before the white hen which makes me worry but I know it's wintertime and egg product does slowed down. The reason I'm worried is because when I cracked one of the white hens egg today I saw a red dot. Please help. Here are their picture. These 3 have yet to lay an egg.

They are all pullets (female) - a red spot in an egg is not a sign of being fertile. "meat spots" and/or "blood spots" are not uncommon - just a little bit of something that gets caught up in the egg as it forms. Fertile eggs are indicated by a "bullseye" formation of the germinal disc. The germinal disc is a small white "disc that you can see on the yolk of all eggs -- on a fertilized egg there is a distinct bullseye on the disc.

They all look like pullets,

Red dots can be normal, dont really mean anything usually. The maran I had always used to have spots in her eggs, and she was 100% fine.

Did you mean to say one of the white hen's eggs vs. one of the white eggs?

Ok I was hoping that was the case because I am really attached to my chickens. But my property is not large enough for me to have a rooster. I would hate to have to give any of them up.
