1 is what I'd call spangled. Similar to speckled Sussex and spangled old English game bantam, although the color pattern isn't perfect at this stage.

4 is either brown red or lemon blue. I can't tell from the pictures if the body feather are blue or black, and that's the main difference between the two.
