#1 hen is a silkie mix hen, both parents were probably silkie mixes to get a silkie feathered offspring.
#2 rooster looks like a favorelle cross. He is really handsome!
#3 small hen no idea.
#4 rooster - looks like a belgium booted bantam or a Cochin cross from a Mille Fleur project (this rooster has some bad scaley leg mites, you need to coat his legs in veggie oil or vasoline often and clean them every day or every other day with listerine mouth wash then re-coat with vasoline - this will kill and smother the mites)
#5 the big hen in back is a cochin/pekin the one in front looks like a BSL like you said, and yes you can make bantam sex links
#6 looks like a cochin or favorelle cross
#7 no idea, maybe a booted bantam cross the color and body look like a young belgium MF
 
The last hen looks like a new hampshire hen but with the feathers on the legs I would say she too is a cross. Really beautiful birds tho!
