Chicken breed identification

Hi all,

My "Murray's Choice Layer" flock is almost 7 weeks old now, and I need help to identify which breed are they. :)

1. all white
2. yellow
3. orange-brown
4. orange-brown with dotted patterns
5. same as 4, from a different angle
6. brown chicken, baby chick had a chipmunk look. Is she turning into a rooster?...
7. all gray chicken
8. black and white. baby chick was black on the back and yellow on the chest. She is the smallest of them all.
9. all black, maybe a black star?
10. group dinner. :D

2: could be a red sex link
3: could be a New Hampshire red
4: could be a cinnamon queen

2, 3, and 4 could all also be Easter eggers if they end up laying colored eggs
 
That white with black spots might be an AustraWhite, which is a hybrid of a Black Australorp and a white Leghorn, bred to have the calmer temperament of the Australorp and the high egg production of both breeds.
Austra whites are almost entirely white, rather than mostly black
 
Some new side shots.
1,2. They both started off a chipmunk-looking chick at 1 day old. Likely a female and a male of the same breed?
3. Side of the black and white.
4,5. They both looked all black at one day old. Then one of them developed white linings on the chest.
4 looks like an Asian black

Agree with this assessment as well. I completely missed that one that looks like a New Hampshire in my haste to respond about eye color.

Does McMurray have Asian Blacks? I didn't see anything in their catalog that even resembles them.
