I do believe the black one is an Australope. I thought the other might be a buff brahma.
 
I personally disagree with the Australorp people. She looks like a Black Giant. Built more like one. Plus, Australorps have more of a green sheen to them. Are the bottoms of her feet yellow? If so, she is a Black Jersey Giant.

Right, but if the bottom of her feet are pinkish than I think that means she is an Australorp.

Also, I don't think that is a Brahma....brahmas have pea combs and she has a single comb. also it doesn't look like her feet are feathered though I cant see them well.
 
Not only do Brahmas have Pea combs and giant size, Buff Brahmas also have a Buff Columbian feather pattern. To me both look like mixes but both will probably be great layers of nice brown eggs.
 
Salmon Faverolle is the 2nd one, the other are right on the black hen.
Yellow undersides = Jersey Giant
Pink undersides = Austrolorp

I think the color is off for a Faverolle, they are less yellow/gold. Faverolles also have beards/muffs, this hen appears to be clean faced. I think she's most likely a mix of some sort
