Hi! Long-time lurker getting back into raising chickens!
I am a huge bantam fan, so I thought the best way to get back into the hobby was to start with these beauties. 
Yesterday we got some full-grown bantams, two hens and a roo. I believe I know their predominant breeds but I would like conformation. This is the best photo I have of them so far, I can take more later tonight, after my phone charges! LOL

Bottom Left: My new rooster. I believe he is an Old English game? He has some red hackle feathers that are hard to see in this pic.
Upper Middle: Hen #1. Blue booted bantam maybe? She does not have a beard and her legs are slate blue.
Lower Right: Hen #2. Hard to see here due to perspective, but she is actually slightly larger than the roo, and the lowest on the pecking order. She has light grey-blue laced hackles and dark blue-black legs and skin. I think she may be a bantam phoenix?
Upper Right: Not my chicken
I would just like other's opinion on what breeds these are, especially the black hen. She has me quite perplexed!
Thanks!
