You have the neatest chicken names! I like Hammertime :) I'm not good with guessing the gender of chickens.
I think they're all hens because I don't see any saddle feathers. There's several experts here on BYC that should give you accurate guesses.
I see you're from Bartlesville! I go down there a lot to see family :)
 
Hammertime is a hoot. Yes we live south of town in the country. We moved here in ‘04 due to job transfers. It really is a nice place to live. I really am hoping for all girls. I have read all the info and looked at the pics but still have no idea what I am looking for. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Saddle feathers are pointy feathers at the base of the chicken's tail. They angle down towards the feet. Those gold feathers near the tail on the rooster below are saddle feathers. They are thin and pointy. His tail is always upright.

If you look at this hen above, the feathers near her tail go UP into the tail, and they're thick and rounded like the rest of her.

There are several cases where roosters don't mature for many months. I have a cockerel now who is barely two months old and he already has saddle feathers. But I have a rooster who didn't get his saddle feathers until he was over 6 months old!
