Picked this assortment up yesterday... They had purchased the eggs of full size birds to put under their setting Bannys... My guesses are in parenthesis for sex and breed [I am a novice so no judging] :) Thanks in advance for your help! I love this BYC community!

"Black One" Black feet/legs-some yellow spots, Black beak and single comb (Maybe a Maran Mix?/Pullet)

"Black Two" Black/Yellow Splotched feet & legs, Black beak and pea comb; speckled feathers (???/Pullet)

"Black Three" Black/yellow legs, black beak, yellow pea comb (???/Pullet)

"Black Four" Black with red like you see, only on breast, black and yellow beak and yellow single comb (???/roo)

"Fawn" Brown/black/white speckles, yellow head, legs, beak and single comb (Speck.Sussex cross/pullet)

"Freckle" Brown and black, yellow head and single comb, yellow to olive colored legs (EE/pullet)

"Hawkeye" Grey/Black chipmunk color, olive legs, yellow pea? comb (EE/??? possibly roo)

"Snow" Off white, with black here and there, pinkish yellow legs, yellow single comb (???/roo)

"Speckle" Dark brown/black, yellow feet and legs, brown beak and yellow pea comb (EE/pullet)
 
I got a batch of chicks this past summer that had at least 4 like your white one with some black spots (only two survived the hatching) and they were all quite large. The two survivors are now 26 weeks, and though I had suspected one was a rooster, they are both hens. One has yellow legs, and one has black/yellow legs, and has a little gold showing on the neck recently. The hen that brooded them was a black sex-link. I had two roosters at the time--one B rock and one that I think was a black Australorp. So I don't know for sure which fertilized her eggs. And I'm very curious as to how they ended up white. !!
