Can anyone tell by these pictures which are roosters and which are hens? They're all supposed to be hens but a few are suspicious, and I can't tell which ones.
 
There are six, but I was pretty sure the other one was a hen. Everyone I've asked thinks the one in the first picture is a rooster. I'm not sure how to tell

Not that I can see. How old is she? She could be a cockerel if she's younger. For the profile picture, hover over your username in the top right corner, then select "change my avatar" from the drop down :)

they're all about 4 months old, but only one of them is laying eggs right now, I'm not sure which one

Yep, at four months if she was a rooster you should see some rooster hackle and saddle feathers coming in, and I see none of that. Her comb is growing and reddening because she's getting close to laying, that's usually the first sign.
