Can someone tell me what these 6 are?

Anyone have any thoughts on the first picture? I have a few more pictures but they aren't very clear I can try again tomorrow!

She's very unusual and very pretty but I have no idea. I thought she might be a speckled old English but they don't have a golden cape like she does.

This one looks like and OEGB mix to me, or maybe just and oddly colored wheaton. Legs are white, and it does appear to carry a spangle gene. Spangling should increase as it ages. This is the only one I think could be male. The only reason I think that is that's male coloration. Don't see any male feathers though.

The two that look alike are brahmas, and you're right about the silkie.

Sorry I know I have asked for a lot of help already.. However I have a few more questions. The two that look alike the brahmas, one has red around eyes and above beak ( I think this is called the comb but like I said... First week of chickens!) does this mean roo? And I had read somewhere on silkies with hair that stands up straight on head is a too?!? Please help if I have 3 Roos I think I'm in trouble?

I would defer to someone with more knowledge about brahmas and silkies than I do, but all 3 look like hens to me. The silkie is shaped nice and round like a hen. Watch the neck and back of the brahma you think is male. Roosters will develop shiny, more colorful feathers in those places. I don't see those in the pictures.

It looks possible for all 6 to be hens.

Can you get a picture of the Silkie from the side? Close up of her head from the side would be very helpful..but generally a Silkie hen will have a crest (the feathers on top of the head) that stand kinda straight up and the whole crest is rounded like a giant cotton ball..a roo's will sort of sweep towards his rear..but they are hard to sex until about 4-6 months old
