The yellow one has 5 toes with feathers on it's feet. Black one has feathers on it's feet as well.
 
I agree the yellow is likely a Favorelle.

If the black (can't tell in photo) has feathers running on the outside of the leg down the toe, I think it is a Marans as it looks more like that in down and body type vs. Cochin. If it has feathers running completely down the leg, then Cochin.

Chipmunk chick might be a Silver Leghorn...but it could be a lot of things as there are a lot of chicks that down color.

The last chick looks to be a Sicilian Buttercup...the comb will be the final confirmation...it should have a cup like comb base.

Where did you get them? If from a hatchery then the Faverolles isn't a bantam. None of the hatcheries have Fav bantams. The one to the right of the yellow chick does look like a Buttercup, which also does not come in bantam. Black chick could be Cochin, or as Lady of McCamley points out Marans. I haven't seen enough Marans chicks to be familiar with their appearance. The striped chick could be one of several breeds. Knowing where they came from could narrow it down.
 
I got them from a feed shop, which I'm pretty sure gets their chicks from Ideal. Here are a couple new pictures. Little black fuzzy feet one has weird feathers. They are not laying against it's body like the other ones.

Below, Facing: top, if that is a rose comb (and it looks like it might be?) Gold Laced Wyandotte.
Second facing, if buttercup comb (can't see really well), Sicilian Buttercup

Probably a Favorelle, but isn't showing much beard. Can't be Silkie as white/yellow skin/beak (unless mix). Not sure on this one with the 5 toes should be Favorelle or Silkie if Ideal.

Can't tell...need to see face too.

New pictures of the bantams.
 
More pictures now that they are older. Wondering if anyone can tell me sex of these two? I am pretty sure I can tell on my other two.
