Okay! I can help with one egg- 1 out of 6 really isn't very helpful though, and I may still be wrong.

In my experience, (which is NOT very much) Polish birds lay interesting, torpedo-shaped eggs, so I THINK the 2nd egg on the left may be from your chocolate Polish. It looks similar to the Polish eggs I get from my own birds, though it may be that another one of your chickens lays a unique pointed egg.

The only way to know for sure is to park yourself in the chicken coop, and watch, which will be very boring, I'm sure! Good luck!

My buff bantam Cochin lays eggs that look very similar to #4.

Note that egg colors change during the season and one bird may give you a brown egg in March and a nearly white egg in September.
