The hen is a Silver (grey cinnamon) I would say. The brownish (not dark) lower jaw, witht he pale grey look, and the lighter coloured feet/nails give it away.

One of the young is either cinnamon (or albino if your cock carries the ino gene) based on the eye colour that is showing (pale eyes compared to the others).
