I believe you have three boys and one girl!
congrats!!!!
congrats!!!!
It can be very very difficult to sex kittens at this age. Even veterinarians can get it wrong. I once had a kitten that was sexed as a male until she was four months old, at which point the vet agreed a spay was probably in order as she had no testicles
Are all four gray tabbies? If one of them has any red as well it's almost certainly a female. Without this, my bet here would be on three females and a male in this case, but it really is only a guess.

Three girls and one boy would be my guess. I think the kitten in the top right photo is the boy.
Can we see some pictures of their faces too? Not for identifying gender, just for cuteness.

Woops. Sorry for the wrong information! [emoji]128514[/emoji]
As i see, three of them are females (and I'm pretty sure about them), the one on the top right seems to be a male, but still not sure about him.
I think it's two boys and two girls. Boys on the right, girls on the left.
I think it's two girls and two boys too.
Generally girls 'bits' look like upside down exclamation marks (!) whereas boys bits look like a semi-colon (
They seem very cute and chubby by the way! Have they got any names? :-)

Thank you for your help. They are more brown in colour and one more reddish.It can be very very difficult to sex kittens at this age. Even veterinarians can get it wrong.

No names yet. We will be finding homes for them so we were going to leave it up to their owners. If there are two girls then we have already found a home for them, so fingers crossed[emoji]128516[/emoji]I think it's two girls and two boys too.

CailinP; in my opinion you should go volernteer at your local shelter to be a photographer for them. Ib don't know if your shelter is run like ours, here in San Diego, where pictures are posted on the website of found and adoptable pets, but if they do, I'm sure they could use you, or whoever you these pictures.
It can be a very daunting task to photograph animals at times. Often the pictures posted are just bad. It's hard for a person to tell from a picture that was taken while their cat was in distress if it's their pet in that picture. These are four great pictures, even the rear end shots are clear.
Just something to consider. They are all beautiful.
I have to say from the rear doors that the top fight one is a boy. From the face shots, not that it's a science, but, it looks like the bottom right is the boy.
Hope all is well with the beauties and they live happily ever after.

Those are some precious kittens!
OMG they are so beautiful But I have to agree I think you have two boys and two girls.
The two on the left are girls, I have no doubt. The top right is a boy, no doubt. I think the bottom right is a boy too, but because of the lighting I can't see what's inbetween properly. If you can retake a picture of the last one to be sure, that'd be great.
I think it's three boys and one girl hahaha oh lord
Top right is the only girl of the group.
