In the Brooder

Three weeks ago we purchased what we thought were (13) Buff Orpington chicks and (3) chicks of unknown variety - 1 week old.
The staff at the store that day did not know the varieties of the chickens, and several of the brooders were unlabeled.
When - by chance - we were at the same store today, the brooder our chicks came from had baby turkeys in it ...
A gentlemen at the store said that only turkeys had been in that brooder for quite awhile.
The (13) - which at this point would be approximately 4 weeks old - are not larger than the (3) unknowns. They do seem to have longer necks. And they all have a little bump above their beak, more prominent on some, but visible on all.
Is it possible to tell from the attached photos what we have ?
Thank you to anyone who can offer assistance.
Oh No ... we are new here and can not figure out how to link our images into this message... ?
Will try to put them on Instagarm here:
