Anybody know what breed they are?

bantams are just smaller. If they are all bantam they'll all be small. For reference, you could weigh the "Buff Brahma". At 1 week old my standard light Brahams weighed between 65 and 81 grams. If yours is much lighter than that at 1 week I would say bantam.

I see now that chick one has feathered legs!

I retract my BSL guess and will guess black marans.

Number 4 looks too dark to be Delaware in my experience. The picture I shared in past two the light ones mixed in there are all light Brahma and Delaware. They looked identical besides the feather feet and comb for the first week or so.

Where did you get them?

1. Mixed, perhaps with a fibromelanistic breed?
2. Also a cross?
3. Buff Brahma
4. Columbian Rock, perhaps, or another mix.
5. Could either be a Barred Rock, or Cuckoo Marans, depending on leg color. When they're young like this, it's often difficult to accurately read leg color. Orange is universal on yellow and pink-legged breeds. However, I'm leaning towards Barred Rock.

ETA: There's a possibility the "Barred Rock" could be a Black Sex Link cockerel. Just another option.

As for gender, only the possible barred rock in this group would be possible sexed this young (Unless one is a sex link) This link may help https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/sight-sexing-barred-plymouth-rock-chicks-at-hatch.798635/

Where did you get these birds?

I got them from a friend.

I got them from a friend.

So they aren't from a hatchery or anything...

Black silkie, cuckoo maran, golden laced brahma, silver laced Wyandotte or penciled rock and barred rock.

4th chick is not light Brahma. It has no feathered feet and is far too dark.
