Can anyone help me with the breed please

OK the Bantam and small hens are our own from hatchings so not concerned with those, it is the bugger hens interested in as We brought them as hatching eggs and told plymouth rock. but as we had 4 of the darker black and white barred hatch and 2 plain white and 2 mainly white and black hatch, confused us.... The big white hen and cockerel have blue lobes. dont know if this helps , and they do all have white legs.
 
Even if the hens' legs are washed out from laying, the cockerel has white legs and cockerels don't lay eggs. Unless the color is completely washed out from the lighting and camera, that cockerel cannot be a Rock nor Leghorn because Leghorns and Rocks do not have white legs.

I'm not familiar enough with the UK standards and breeds to know which have the combination of white legs, white ears, single comb. Which is why I assume they are Marans and/or Sussex mixes (they don't seem Opringtony to me).

Are they laying? What color eggs do you get?

Breed descriptions from the UK (be sure to look at the "your images section"):
Marans
Speckledy
Sussex
