Our new chicks - Help us figure out what they are please?

The second was sold as an Ameracauna, but was told later she's an Easter Egger. She has a peacomb, so she isn't a leghorn. She's a good size - keeping up with the barred rocks and others we have.
 
Ok - Here's a before/after of our gals! (we got a 50/50 mix out of what was "supposed" to be 9 hens & a roo!) We started getting eggs two weeks ago. So far, we've only seen one of our girls on a nest and it is always the same one (#3). We got 4 eggs a couple of days ago and have 4 girls old enough to lay. The leghorns are still a month or so away.

Our sweetheart and most favorite chicken. Misty is such a good girl - so gentle, our 9yo dd picks her up and carries her around the pen, never flies out of the coop (until today when she was scared for her life!), always the first to roost, never picks on anyone (of course she is the smallest and most petite!) Such a lady in every way! She's shaking her head, but you can still see the beautiful lacing on her feathers.









Here is another hen -also a really good girl. I guess we just love all of our girls! It's the roos that give us a fit! She's posing for the camera! (she's the one in the middle)







Here is the last one (that I have a pic of anyway). She's the only one we've seen on the nest and is laying small, cream colored eggs. One of them is laying a large cream colored egg and the other two are small brown eggs. She is another one that is just such a good hen!
