I'm gonna say Black Australorp or Black Jersey Giant Cockerel for the larger black one. Possibly a California White pullet for the white/black speckled one, although I'm not familiar with this breed personally and I think the leg color differs. The barred one looks just like the Barred Plymouth Rocks coming from Hoover's (I think it's this hatchery at least) this last year. Here's another example of a similar Plymouth with the same odd coloring-

Your grey one... has a crest, a light beard, possibly lavender color... I'm not sure, where are you located? Where did you get the chicks from?

I'm from Sydney, Australia.
Regarding the eggs, they were given to me by someone. I have no idea what they are as i cannot get in touch with that person.
 
I'm less confident in the California White, although the lavender one with the crest and beard sounds like a Araucana to me, I believe they have a different standard down there in AUS than there do where I'm at in the US : D

They could be barnyard mixes.

The black one looks male to me. The other three might be female, but they might just as easily be males that I'm not properly recognizing. (And of course I could be wrong on the black one too.)
 
The speckled one looks like a cuckoo maran, not a barred rock to me.
I don’t believe it is cuckoo Marans, the pattern isn’t quite right. Also not a Barred Plymouth Rock, again pattern isn’t correct and it has pink legs - not yellow. Not to mention body shape. My guess is just mix breed.
