Bottom are almost assuredly Production Reds...might be Red Stars, but darker like a Production Red.
Top, black chicks, could be a number of things. Might be Black Stars (sex links) or Australorps or Black Jersey Giants.
Hatcheries will use whatever over stock, and most often, extra roosters, as their packing peanuts.
With the idea that excess roosters are often used (as sworn to by a number of BYCers), I doubt they are sex links unless the hatchery really had a lot of extras of those that day.
But they could be almost anything...however they do look like common layer types rather than extras of a rare breed.
