All but #3 look EE to me.  Number 3 looks like it could potentially be pure austrolorp.    And I absolutely adore the barred EE!

the one you are calling a barred rock is a barred ee instead...they all appear to have ee them no one is a pure breed there and all your ameraucana's are ee's as well

Thanks for the info :)

Never mind..  I googled "chicken beards" and no I see that a lot of my chickens have them.. Hmm.. I thought they were all austrolorps :)

If all EE's have beards/muffs, then why doesn't the white EE (#5) have them?

True.  I have two that don't.  This one is similar to yours:

Since only one parent has a beard, the chick has a 50% chance of getting a beard. Even though she doesn't have a beard, based on the coloring, I would say she is an EE. She could still lay a green egg, I have a beardless ee that lays pretty blue/green eggs.

One and six are cockerels, but the partridge type coloring on #4 indicates it is a pullet. A cockerel would look more black breasted red at this point.
