Bought a new home and inherited a Rooster and 4 hens

Yes she hides most of the time in the bushes so he can't get at her.
Can you help me identify them all?
 
I'm just on a phone so I can't enlarge the picture enough to see them properly but best guess, the buff is a buff orpington, the black, a black australorp, a production red and the rooster a barred rock. The white one is sending mixed messages. She appears to have red lobes. That would make her either a white rock but she shouldn't have black tail feathers or a delaware but she should have black tail and hackle feathers. Sticking with the common hatchery breeds, I'll go with WR.

Having 2 age groups in your flock helps with the peaks and valleys of egg laying.
