These birds were given to me and I'm not exactly sure what they are:
Rhode Island Red? lays regularly, light brown egg and all the roos love her. She's 3-4 years old.

Ameraucana or Araucana? She lays mint green eggs on occasion and she's 2 years old.

Old English Game Bantam hen, with roo from someone else, they love each other! 2-3 years old.

Mutt Roo, very nice, pretty guy, doesn't bother kids, likes the bantam hens. He's a year old.

Thanks for your input, I have another roo and some black girls I'll post when I get some photos.

Not a clue. I don't know breeds very well, but I am thinking maybe not a RIR. I thought they were darker red. Maybe a Comet of some kind?
 
#1 RIR
#2 EE
#3 I am not familiar
#4 Very handsome.

Red sex-link (golden comet)
Easter Egger
Old English Game Bantam - color is Blue Red
Old English Game Bantam mix - color is Brassy Back?
 
I would agree with you on your guesses on the breeds, except for the first one you called a rhode island red. I think that it is probably a red sex link, the reason I think that is not a rir is the white in the tail feathers. Btw Your chickens look very nice.

#1- red/gold sexlink

#2- Easter egger

#3- Blue red/blue breasted red OEGB hen, the rooster looks like a bad black tailed buff jap, but it almost looks like he has slate legs, so possible nankin?

#4- Polish cross, maybe with a game. I say this because he has a little beard/muff, white earlobes, a tassel, and a game type in the back end.

Oohhh, yes.. brassy back is the coloring, he's close to it. I'd say he's a game mix, maybe standard old english or american.
