Second one could be a black Australorp,
3rd is some sort of cochin? No real helpful clue, sorry.

4th looks kinda like my partridge banty, but mine is a cochin (has feathers on her feet). Do you have any closer pics of their feathers?
You will soon have much more reliable answers than mine, never fear!

They're beautiful!
 
They look like barnyard crosses to me. The first black one looks like a dark Cornish cross. The second black looks like a Cochin cross with something rose or pea comb. Not sure on the first and last ones though.
 
#1 White eggs, very shy
# 2 is a smaller hen, about 3/4 size of a BA, but not banty. lays a cream colored egg,
#3 sized like a BA, but with feathered feet, looked like a chocin as a chickie, but lays a chocolate brown egg...beautiful eggs, (similar to a cookoo maran)
#4 partridge rock? Cream colored egg
They all came from ideal pultry, assorted regular sizes. But I am having the hardest time matching combs, egg colors, and feather patterns on these ladies. So maybe they sent me all the left over mutts at the end of summer last year.

"all have ruffled back feathers...The roo has been up to business since it started getting warm here in michigan"
