Here are a few of my chickens. Is anyone able to determine whether they are hens or roosters? I will post the others when I can get quality pictures.

May I ask what made you determine that? Just so I have more knowledge.
Of course! Easter Eggers are mixes so there are no fixed rules but they can usually be sexed by a couple things:
-pullets will typically have a more even color pattern. Yours do.
-cockerels will be splotchy and "flashy." A big clue is if there is a reddish/rust color that shows up in the shoulders.
-the pea combs on pullets will be smaller and pale until they get closer to laying eggs
-cockerels pea combs will start getting red earlier and often times their combs will be wider. You may see 3 vertical "rows" vs 1 row.
