#1 Sorry, no idea on that one
#2 is a silkie, looks like it may be partridge, but not sure on that
#3 is a white cochin, and it looks like it may be a roo
#4 looks like a golden sebright. It has a rose or pea comb, I always get those confused! I have a hard time telling with those combs if they are male or female, but if it is already getting red, it is most likely a boy.
#5 not sure of breed
#6 is a black cochin frizzle

If they are all bantam, #1 and #5 might be old english, but I don't know with those yellow legs. I don't think old english have yellow legs, but I could be wrong.
 
thank you this morning everyone is picking on #1 i have no idea why they are doing it except it only has wing feathers & every one else has most of their feathers so i put it in with my lil 1 weekers & they wanna peck its eyes!!! uggh is this chick just a sissy?????!!!!
 
ok well i ended up putting it in / my lil ones .. they have been there all day / no problems. as soon as i took it out of the big cage they all settled down & went to sleep.. they just seem to not like that 1 chick.. strange??!!
