Well first of all, speckled sussex are brown under all their dots and javas are black underneath. Sussex's have pink legs while mottled java's have yellow. There are probably many other differences but they are completely different breeds.

(Not my picture) See, this is a speckled sussex

(not my picture) this is a mottled java

You can start a thread if you're really not sure!

If you have no idea, please do not confuse others.

circled in red are speckled sussexes.

There are 2 blacks. One I was told is a Dominate Copper. She has feathers on her feet. The other, poor thing, lost a wing as a day old. I can try to get a better picture of her. She is timy, probably under 9 mths old.

The Dominant Copper (spelled like so) is likely a Dominant Copper like you were told.

Since she also has feathered feet and is not barred. She is a cross between a Maran and Barred Rock. She looks like a very possibly cross of the two. I wasn't sure if she was an Australorp, since her shanks were out of the frame.

I see some ISA browns, Sapphire gems, a Delaware, speckled Sussex or mottled javas, and some australorps or Langshans (depending on feathered feet or not). The one in the front corner looks like a mix.

Can you indicate which are Isa Browns?
