#3 looks like my Speckled Sussex; Can't tell on the rest

 

[Ilovemyduckies]

1. Black austrolorp?
2. Rhode Island red/ Production Red
3. EE
4. Black austrolorp

That would be my best guess

My RIR and EE looked really similar.

EE

#3 first impression was SS, but the yellow legs... so not that.

 

[OR4-hmom]

Speckled Sussex should have white/pink legs, not sure but most EE I've seen have more of a green tint to the legs.

Ditto this. You won't know on 3 until you can see her ear color develop (white = Leghorn, red = Welsummer). Obviously, the egg color would be a dead giveaway as well ;-) On 1 and 4, probably Australorp because the skin looks white under the black wash on the legs.
