The lavender rooster is an Orpington maybe? The little white pullet I am unsure of.

Where did you get the rooster? He's an easter egger. Looks like a direct ameraucana cross, with the slate legs, but he doesn't have the muff or beard a true ameraucana should have.
The white, how old is it? it looks pretty young due to the feathering, and depending on how young, could either be a cockerel or a pullet. Either way, I think its a leghorn.

Top idk but the second is a Cornish hen. Aka chicken house chicken for sure there is no mistake there I had a couple of those . And they make the best pets ever. Very calm and loving if u get them real young.
 
All my chickens are from the local feed and fodder store. The Isa Brown, Australorp and the Ancona were easy to identify, this lavender rooster not so much. I will take a better photo tomorrow now he is a bit older and doesn’t have so many pin feathers. Thanks for the info on the Leghorn. I think he may be a cross of some kind?

Orpingtons have single combs and this bird has a pea comb. Cornish have pea combs and this bird has a single comb. Commercial Cornish crosses have single combs though.
