Black with white spots (mottled) cockerel, i'd guess a ancona. The light red one with him.. Maybe a New hampshire red.

The blue i can't tell but looks like a tophat got cut off, if so.. Maybe a polish? Quack is right about the brown bantam hen.. She's a BBR OEGB- Old english game bantam. The white.. Maybe a white jap?
 
She does look like that! Thanks!
Her name is Alvin. At least I think she's a she

Alvin is pretty. Is she laying yet? My girls reallly filled out the gold breast before they started laying at 4 months. They are just shy of 5 months in this recent pic.
 
They are not laying yet, I am hoping September or October. She is a lot smaller than the rest of my chickens. I hope she turns out as beautiful as yours.
I have no idea what the black and white one is. The white, I think you are right. It is definitely a bantam of some sort.
The brownish/red ones are getting a little black on their back ends. Maybe they are New Hampshire Reds.
Thank you everyone for your information!

That picture was posted by a different person in reference to the brown hen that is identical, it is a Old english game bantam.. BBr (black breasted red). Black sexlinks are bigger, and are black with kind of a barred (cuckoo?) pattern.. Maybe a little rust in the wingbars.. (Shoulders).
