can anyone tell me what breeds I have I bought eggs they are suppose to be Easter Eggers black jerse

You likely have all three of those in your mix. The black chicks with the white spots on top of their heads are likely male Black Sex Link chicks produced by crossing Black Jersey Giant roosters with Barred Rock hens. The solid black chicks could be either female Black Sex Link chicks (BJG roo X BR hen) or Black Jersey Giant chicks (either sex). The odd colored chicks of varying colors in your flock are likely Easter Eggers. Since EEs are hybrids produced by crossing blue egg layers with brown egg layers, the chicks can come in a variety of colors depending on which brown egg layers were used in the crosses.

So sex links are a mix between jersey Giants and barred rock I didn't know that so you don't think I have pure Jersey Gaint chicks in there

I think the problem here is that in your heading you said, "barred rock jersey giant mix" which led us to believe that you have some chicks that were barred rock X jersey giant crosses. Perhaps what you meant is that you have a mix of all three breeds, Easter Eggers, Black Jersey Giants, and Barred Rocks. Let me clarify what your chicks could be based on whether your have Black Jersey Giants and Barred Rocks in your flock, or Black Jersey Giants and BJG X BR crosses. Your solid black chicks (depending on what combo you have in your flock) could be either pure Black Jersey Giant chicks (either sex) or female Black Sex Link chicks (any solid colored rooster crossed with a barred hen will produce Black Sex Link offspring). Your black chicks with the white spot on top of their heads (depending on what combo you have in your flock) could be either Barred Rock chicks (either sex) or male Black Sex Link chicks.
