#5 looks very much like my Amercauna except for the yellow legs. a pure Amercauna has slate blue legs. Easter Eggers are mixture, not a breed. I'm guessing it's an Easter Egger.

5 isn't a EE she is a game hen not a EE and defiantly not a rooster...

Not to start anything here, but #5 looks 100% exactly like the 7 EE's I own,I know mine are EE's, they lay blue eggs. So maybe I am unaware what an Game hen looks like, it is possible there are game hens that look like EE's, but #5 looks like an EE to me, and the comb is questionable as far as size and color- enough to make me wonder as to roo status. I think it is small simply because it is young, not because it is game hen size.

#6 looks like the Light Brahmas I have seen elsewhere on BYC, but I could be mistaken. OP did a check and saw pictures of birds labeled as Brahmas, and said they look just like pic #6, sometimes its hard to identify when a bird is young and when there is a possibility of mixed breeds. I am far from being a breed recognising expert, I was just giving my semi-informed, personal experience opinion.

The color of #5 is a common color on chickens game (Black Breasted Red and Wheaten), Leghorns (Brown) etc.

# 5 is a Game cross the color is either a BB Red (black Breasted Red ) or Wheaten.
# 6 is also a Game cross (the color might be a BB Red/Silver Quill cross could even have some Silver Duckwing in it). Brahmas do not have green legs and would have feathers on it legs.......

3rd and 11th row down is a American Game Bantam BB Red Hen --

Maybe its just me, but did anyone think that 4th picture looked like a chicken/duck? LOL I know its not true and its just the way its standing and the head angle but that was my first impression................UGH I think I look at birds too much.
 
The light ones look like buff Orps.
The medium red ones looks like Red Sex-links, or production reds.
#3 is an EE.
The rest look very very Game-y. Definitely NOT EEs.
And Brahmas have feathered legs. One is Welly colored but looks much too upright.
