I found out most of them but there's a couple I'm not sure
In here there's a frizzle easter egger, sapphire jewel, bantam sage gem, and a bantam easter egger

I am assuming you ordered them from Meyers? I found the pages on those 4 kinds:

All of your chicks have clean legs, and all 4 kinds can have clean legs.
All 4 kinds can have muffs on the face (like your black chick does. I'm not sure about your other chicks.)
The Sapphire Jewel must be white, but the other three can come in many colors.
Sage Gem Bantam and Frizzle Easter Egger say they have a chance of growing a crest on their head, but the others do not. So you could watch for any crests that may appear as they grow their feathers.

Bantams should be smaller than standard-sized chickens. So most likely the smallest two are the bantams, and the other two are the not-bantams. If the chicks are not different sizes yet, it should become clear as they grow.

The Sapphire Jewel would have to be one of the white ones, not a bantam.
Frizzled feathers should be obvious once they start to grow, but I notice the frizzle Easter Eggers could actually have plain or frizzle feathers. It should be a standard-sized chick, not a bantam chick. It has a chance of growing a crest.

For the two bantams, I do not see any good way to tell them apart, unless one grows a crest. They should both be bantam sized, they both do have clean legs, both have the possibility of muff/beard on the face, neither has any guidelines for feather color, both should lay colored eggs. So you might be able to tell by which shade of eggs they lay when they grow up, but unless one grows a crest I can't think of anything that would help figure them out any time soon.
