Not sure of the first pic but the second pic is russian Orloff
 
The first two pics are red sex link roos and the last two are an Easter Egger, probably, pullet. EEs can be kind of tricky on gender this early. My EE pullets don't get really red combs until just before they start laying and 5 weeks is awful early for a chicken to start laying.
 
I have two "mutts" that look remarkably like the one in the first pic. Their mother is a Golden Comet, father is a Silver Laced Wyandotte. Both cockerels were solid yellow as peeps and solid white once they feathered out. They're 4 months old now and free if anyone wants them!

I agree that the 3rd one looks like an EE. Hope it's a pullet and will lay you some pretty eggs, but it sure is cute, whatever sex it is.

I thought they were 5 WEEKS but was correct they are 8 weeks. Sorry.

Thanks everyone. I do hope the EE is a pullet if not it will still stay. How do you tell pullets from roo's with sex link can you tell by color?
 
Yes, the sex links are distinguished by color. My GC was a reddish orange when she was a chick. If she had been a he, she would have been solid yellow (like her sons.) There are black sex link chickens too.
