New small flock in Arkansas

Ok I finally got around to getting some better pictures. The two bigger black ones have turned into being pretty aggressive. Not like coming at you, but they sure like the ring I wear!

Any help in identifying breeds and maybe any males that be in the bunch. Also, the big white one has been lethargic and has had one eye closed all day today. I’m reading it might have been pecked or something. Should I pull it out for a day or so?
I saw the one with the closed eye. I've had this happen in my flock, as long as nobody is picking on her, I would let her stay in the flock. Make sure she can manage the roost bar until the eye heals. If you have any human eye drops for soothing the eye, you can put a drop in her eye a few times a day until healed. It should heal ok, it doesn't look bad, however you can still post in our Emergency forums for more help.

You wrote that the two black ones (may be Australorps) where "aggressive" by coming after your ring. Lots of birds are obsessed with shiny sparkly things and have been known to pluck earrings out of your ears and swallow them. I would not wear the ring around the flock.
Eyeballs are also shiny things and one of them may have pecked the silver girl's eye. Can you take some pictures of the entire run? How much space do those birds have? They need lots of perches, things to jump up on and scratch around under. What run litter are you using? Is it something they can dig around in?
The little blue Cochin and the red/white game bird are both cockerels.
