18 Weeks old chickens... what breed are we?

The white hen is a silkie mix. Since she's a mix, it's much more logical to assume the other birds are also mixes, rather than an exotic breed. We'd need better pics of the two black birds, but they're not the same, according to the different combs, and the hen appears to have white earlobes while the cockerel has red. His wavy comb also indicates mixed breeding somewhere along the line.
I will attempt to get better pictures later this afternoon.

here is a better picture of him.

she kept hiding behind the silkie mix! Best pic I could get.
 
I have 2 black australorps that I did get from a hatchery, but they both have black faces?

ETA: My profile pic is one of my australorps.

I think the black ones are mixes, but if they are pure, they are definitely not the same breed. They have different comb shapes and ear lobe colors. The female looks like a black rosecomb mix, the male I am not sure on.
