The first two could be white leghorns. In the second photo (sorry - at that age it's a cockerel with that much comb and wattles) could be an exchequer leghorn. The third and fifth photos look like easter eggers with their green legs. The fourth photo I'm not sure about at all. I'm sure some other experts more experienced than myself will be along soon to clarify what breeds you have.
 
2nd is definitely a cockerel. The last 3 I think may be easter egger, which I wouldn't consider that great of layers, and the first 2 I want to say leghorns but am iffy on that.
 
1st pic, I think 2 breeds based on different combs and second one has a more yellow head. The comb looks like it could be a Chantecler for first chx. Second chx does not look like a Leghorn from this angle -generally they are more trim with narrower legs and a Leghorn (male or female) would have a larger comb at this age and if male it would be moving towards red with wattle growth.

2nd pic does look male, but that comb doesn’t have such distinct points on it. I thought Exchequer had a more mottled appearance and this one has a black back, but never had EL, so I’m not experienced here. Based on comb and black back I’m not sure it’s EL, might need to peruse pics of the breeds McM sells.

3 and 5 look like female EE. Our EE (different source) are good layers.

4 (Sweetie) is not likely an EE, I think it’s a differentbreed. Can’t see comb, and legs are yellow.

attractive chicks!

Hi, the second one I do believe you is a roo, but do you have any ideas of what breed he is? Attached is an updated picture
