Some of them look like Barred Rock or Cuckoo Marans /Silkie crosses...note the little pouf on the head. I have three of that cross, but yours are male, except for one, and mine are female. Chick #5 is female. The sire pf mine was a Cochin/Silkie mix and mama was a BR. The barred ones are male since that is sexlinked and they get it from BR or Cuckoo Marans mothers. BR s have yellow legs and Cuckoo Marans have white (sometimes with dark wash)

#5 seems that she is a blue Rock/silkie cross (assuming blue Rock since you have a splash rock in that group)
#2 is a RIR pullet
#3 appears to be a SplashPlymouth Rock.

#1,3,4,6 are all male. And the last one you added is a cockerel, too.
 
Well, in the UK they have some different breeds of chickens. The slightly crested cleanlegged ones could be brabanter farmfowl(not sure of the proper translation, german name is " Brabanter Bauernhuhn", not related to the regular brabanters in anyway, were created in the netherlands, in germany only 2 colour varieties are accepted, silver quail and quail not sure of status in the UK).
Sulmtalers is another singlecombed, slightly crested breed found in europe.

Just because they don't look like any purebreed we have over here doesn't mean they don't have pure breeds that look like that on the otherside of the pond.
