They all appear to be mixes, although the middle one may be a poor quality Black Copper Marans since it has copper coloring on it's breast.

I'm guessing they came from a breeder rather than a hatchery? If so, I believe they're all mixed breed birds. There could be quite a bit of Marans blood for the feathered shanks and white/pink skin. Other than that, it's hard to say.

X2 on the above.
 
Brown leghorns are skinnier, smaller, and not as bulky looking either. My brown leghorn hen does not have that much black on her either.
:P
 
I think the black one is a black sex link. That's what I have and they look very similar.
The coloring is very similar between Black Sex Link hens and Black Copper Marans, but Black Sex Links are typically bare legged unlike the black bird in the 2nd pic which has the feathered legs typical of Marans.
