What breed or mixes are my hens?

I think they're a pretty mix.

Thanks! That last one is a beautiful beetle green in the sunlight. It doesnt show up well in the picture.

Also, i hatched chicks this past Thanksgiving week with a Silkie hen. I'd like to know if we can for sure tell which roo and hen they came from. I have my thoughts but could be wrong and since most are barnyard mixes I know its probably a little more of a challenge. So first 3 pics are the two possible dads and mom. Last are age progression of cockeral. Thoughts? Is the Australorp the sire? I'm 99.9% sure of mom but....yeah..

Now with this next cockeral I'm sure who dad is. Who is the mom? First 2 pics are the cockeral and last two are the hen and roo I think, but.not at all sure. But when this EE hen was a chick she was odd shaped the same...all legs and no tail. Also this cockeral was/is very slow feathering. He did not feather out until 8-9 wks and to me now looks hen feathered....at least compared to the first cockeral I posted. (My other hens are posted on page one if you don't think she's the mom.) Thoughts?
