My poor eyes sure appreciate pictures that enlarge!

First hen isn't an Orpington, she looks more like a hatchery New Hampshire, something along those lines. Could just be a mixed breed hen
Second could be an Australorp, does it have a straight comb? And is it wet, or does it have saddle feathers starting.....how old is it?
Third bird--again, are they wet? It could be a hatchery Cochin. Does it have feathered legs?
Fourth bird also looks kinda roo-ish, do you know age? Could be a hatchery cochin, or a cochin mix.

The black one has a strait comb, no saddle feathers, not sure on age but I think they're all roughly 18-20 months, the Cochins are both wet, it rained today, and both have feathered feet, the hen I don't think is roo, as she is now broody, although I've suspected her! Thanks!

Yeah, at that age I'm sure you're right on the genders.
