I got Ideal's surprise special today. I can ID a few of the chicks but would love some input on the rest.
The pics were taken as I was pulling them out of the box so some are a little droopy. But all seem to be doing okay now.

1 & 2
There are 2 that look like this, I'm assuming they are the same breed.






3. Blue chick - blue legs - straight comb, maybe a blue andalusian?




#4.



#5. There are a few of these. They look bigger than the others. Buff orp maybe?



#6



#7 Blue Cochin...



#8 silver laced wyandotte maybe? there are several of these.



#9




#10 production black?



#11 - this one is mostly white with a reddish head. Pictured on the left in the pic below.




The whole gang - they weren't packed unevenly like this, I was just going through them taking pictures.




There are also a few that I think are black australorps.

3. Blue chick - blue legs - straight comb, maybe a blue andalusian? I agree with this guess



#4. Tough one. Maybe a Dark Cornish?



#5. There are a few of these. They look bigger than the others. Buff orp maybe? Yes



#6 Silver Sebright



#7 Blue Cochin... Yes



#8 silver laced wyandotte maybe? there are several of these. Yup



#9 Tough one, Production Red?




#10 production black? That'd be my guess too. Black SL



#11 - this one is mostly white with a reddish head. Pictured on the left in the pic below. I think see chipmunk cheeks. If so, it's likely an EE.

Thanks!
For the sebrights - it was the standard breed special, would they send bantams?? I sure hope they're something else...LOL
 
That's interesting. They're definitely laced, but I can't think of anything that a hatchery would sell in Standard size that looks like that as a chick. Maybe some sort of standard sized OEGs that they've developed (I don't think Laced is a standardized color for them though. Unusual).
 
Why don't you give the hatchery a call and see what might be in the surprise. They do look an awful lot like sebrights.
 
what about silver spangled hamburg for 6
