Mystery Roosters... can you help? (UPDATED WITH MORE PICTURES)

I still think the black (hen?) is a Black Minorca. I just finally ID'd my buff Minorcas-I had been under the belief that MM sent me Buff Orps, but those floppy combs and sleek upright bodies finally told me they are Minorcas, not Orp. I think yours is too-it doesn't look like my Blue Andalusians.

speckledhen,
Yes, you're probably right with the sexlinked roosters. All of the chicks looked the same when they were little, but all of the roos turned white. I have a coupld left that are all white with cream on top and I'm wondering if they're also sexlinked.

Now, that female andalusian / minorca bird... chickenlisa, can you tell me what color the legs are on your minorca? I have a buff minorca and her legs are a pinkish white color. I think my friends black rooster-turned-hen has black legs. Is there another way to tell an andalusian from a minorca?

Thanks for all your help! Someone remind me not to get straight run chicks on egg laying breeds??? Boring and meatless... but that's another thread
