Students need help identifying our chickens

1. white rose combed leghorn pullet
2. golden commet pullet
3. buff orp cockerel
4. leghorn pullet
5. rir pullet
I do think 5 is an easter egger, they're getting green eggs from somewhere and I had some easter eggers in the past from hoover's (well, tractor supply but they source from hoover) that looked like that
 
The 4th chicken that is reddish looked like a chipmunk when it was a chick. It also has greenish legs.
This one was chipmunk stripped? It's the 4th picture, so I'm just double checking?

Since this one started out as a chipmunk stripped chick, she can't be a RIR, they start out sort of a ginger color all over.

This looks an awful lot like a cinnamon queen. They look like chipmunks as chicks. She doesn’t look red enough to be laying yet, though and CQs should lay brown eggs. Someone had said she was laying green here I thought?
 
Are they possibly mixed breeds? The first white one looks too chunky to be a Leghorn, but too slim to be a Wyandotte. She could be a cross. The second may be a Starlight Green Egger, if she’s laying the green eggs. Your third is a buff Orpington cockerel, fourth is a white Leghorn pullet, and fifth looks like a New Hampshire red.
New Hampshire Red was my second guess on the fifth one, too!
