None of those birds are rumpless. The second one is probably a cockerel--they get tail feathers later. First one looks mottled so maybe Ancona or whatever comes in mottled. Second one could be a black Orpington or Australorp. At that age, chicks can be very similar in different breeds.
If the third one has puffy cheeks, it may be an EE, however, I've not seen that color in any EE chicks. The color looks very similar to a Buff Brahma BUT, that is not a Brahma. It is no Ameraucana color I've seen.

Speckledhen, are you going by the way it's standing or is it something else? I am trying to learn these things.
 
I can see the tail stub in the photograph. And my BBS Orp cockerels usually look like that, though on occasion, I'll be fooled by a chunky pullet, LOL. That one has thick legs, too. When you breed that type, you get am early sense about the sex sometimes just from experience.
 
Thanks to everyone for the info.
