Just got five new chicks and I'm hoping they are all hens! Not sure if the breeds either besides the barred rocks. Any help would be appreciated!

They are about 8 weeks I was told. They said the last black one was a barred rock although it has feathers down against its legs. The white one they said was a aracuana?How old are they?Your Barred Rock is confusing me a little, because the barring isn't terribly light, but that's quite the comb!
Not sure about breed on #2...what's Columbian, clean-legged, and pea combed? Pullet, though, on gender.
#3. Will let someone else identify breed on this one. Also pullet.
#4. Golden Laced Wyandotte pullet.
#5. What color are the bottoms of the feet? Looks like a Cuckoo Marans to me. Pullet!

Thanks for the help. I'm not too worried about it but just going by what she said. She said it will get a sorta feather beard and blue eggs but time will tell8 weeks, eh? I'd lean towards cockerel for the Barred Rock, but the dark plumage is really throwing me off. Hope someone else will chime in with their opinion.
Last chick is definitely a Cuckoo Marans, which would explain her feathered legs.
You don't have an Araucana, unfortunately. I'd have to agree with @MillersFarm , closest fitting breed appears to be Austra White.

Barred Rock Cockerel
Deleware Pullet
California White Pullet
Blue Laced Red Wyandotte (Gold Laced shouldn't have that blue underbody, plus the lacing has some blue in it.)
Olive Egger or Cuckoo Maran. (reason I would say OE is, I think I may see muffs on this bird? Could ou get a face pic?)
