In these photos four of the eight are females, 14 months old. I'm no expect only been involved with koi 3 years now. Females will be larger with a fuller wider body. Males will have a slim tapered body. On a male you should see or feel bumps on the forward edge of the pectoral fins and the gill plates should feel rough like sand paper.
Here is a female vent. As you can see the female vent is pink,puffy and what we call an "outie" as it stands out more than a male. Also the shape is more round..Males will have the sand paper or like a guy hasn't shaved feel on the gills but that is mostly when they are in season. Males are also more slender not having the pouch that a mature female has. The male vent is more like a slit than round.

I believe she was 16" in this pic..I have a female I swore was a male and then all of a sudden she developed her belly"pouch" So the older they are they easier it is..Of course in the Spring when you see fishing chasing that is a good indication of a male to They also say the more rounded the pec fins are that would likely be a female..Also rumor has it, the yellower the nose more likely a male. Your more aggressive fish to eat good chance a female

So what you are basically saying is that there are many traits shared by koi as well as humans when it comes to their gender.
Male koi and human males tend to not fight over the last spoon of ice cream (see were this is going ). The males will get stubble or rough around the edges when the females are receptive or in the mood. Males, the human kind have no time to shave. Get what you can when you can . Females of both species dictate when it is time to do it (see above).
Back to the ice cream. Males are slimmer as they get older as compared to the long and massive weight gain of the females.
The iny/outy thing is not right but I'm working on that.
You lovely ladies do know that I jest ... you are all lovely and given the chance at Heffs little girls and one that is actually smarter than a box of rocks, I'll take the second because she is surely (don't call me Shirley) more knowledgeable in ALL areas and thusly much more beautiful.
