I will try to get foot pictures tomorrow night.

I'm pretty sure that Birds #2 & #3 are dark cornish. After looking them up online I think we have a match.

Could the red one be a red leghorn? She's the smallest by a good margin and is very skittish. My old leghorns were quite suspicious birds.
 
Okay, the bottom of the black pullets' feets are pink. Not pinkish yellow or pinkish white. So...what does that mean?
 
I couldn't remember, but I had just read it the other day, so here is the thread about JG vs Aussies:

If your chick doesn't fall into either of these then you need to start looking at others. I would go back to the catalog and look at all the blacks available with the black/slate legs. However, I really think you have an Aussie there. I had one that was a bit on the small side from them too, even as she matured. The coloring on the feet may also change with time, so keep an eye on her. I am quite certain though that you have a pullet there. Both JGs and Aussies have a nice temperament, so I don't think you will be disappointed.

Good luck.
