Okay, so now that they're older I am going to try again and maybe we can get a better idea of what Breed(s) they are.
As far as sexes I think I got lucky and there's 4 Pullets & 1 Roo.

Black Ameraucanas. I do not see any single combs on them, either.
 
I will try to get a better head picture of the little cockeral & the hens. they look single to me but i rarely pick them up. That would be nice if they were actually purebred, like the other girls.
 
The two ahead of posted exactly what I was going to say: Black Ameraucana's. I have never actually seen any true Ameraucana's in life but that was my guess from seeing pictures.
 
I'm calling them Black EEs. 4 pullets, one roo.

Let's see what color egg they lay... in a couple months....
 
That first bird does appear to have a small single comb... not your regular single comb, but to me it doesn't look "Pea" either.
 
Okay, I feel like an idiot now.... I just was out feeding everyone and picked up the little Roo and it's definitely a small Pea Comb, I picked up one of the pullets too and hers is the same, although MUCH harder to see because the little "spikes" are so teeny still. 1-2 of the other pullets look like plain Single Combs but I am going to go back out and get some pictures to make sure.

I guess I should consider myself pretty lucky, I did buy them as a box of "black baby chicks" from the local auction, lol.
