Got a few chickens from TS for my in-laws .the Bantams they had no clue what kind they are. Pictured (All Black and then Brown chipmunk) from
Day one to now about 3 weeks.

Next pictured is what they told me was a Bielefelder but was also mixed in a bucket with Sapphire Splash

Lastly pictured is what they told me was a Golden comet but my wife said was mixed in with White Leghorns also…. Any help is appreciated ! If you need better pictures I can provide .

The all black one is probably an Australorp. The chipmunk one may be a Brown Leghorn, but its hard to tell what breed chipmunk patterned chicks are until they're older.
Which pic is the one that you were told is a Bielefelder?
If I'm looking at the right picture the one you think is a Golden Comet is actually a Buff Orpington.

Probably not if both of them are bantams. I think Old English Game Bantams are much more likely, because they are common and come in many colors, including Black (the black one) and Black Breasted Red (the chipmunk one might be this color, but it's hard to see the coloring in the most recent photo because of the lighting.)

It looks that way to me too.

I musta misread the post saying they were bantams, oops!
I agree though!

The all black is a Bantam so is the chipmunk , the bielefelder I was told is the 7&8 picture . First is a baby and now at 4 weeks with the Mohawk growing lol

Not a Bielefelder, because of that crest of feathers.

Maybe a Frost White Legbar?
Several hatchery pages with photos:

Frost White Legbars are basically Crested Cream Legbars, except they are white instead. They are relatively new and not very common, but some hatcheries are offering them, so they could turn up in TSC.

Or maybe an Easter Egger or Olive Egger of some kind, because some of those are Legbar-mixes. They often have the crest on the head, and the blue egg gene, but with feather colors that are different from Cream Legbar color.

The only thing is they were in the bin that contained bielefelders and sapphire splash … no other breed . lol so that’s what is throwing me off
 
I agree, your bantams look like old English.

But, could you get more pictures of your chicks outside, perhaps?
It makes it a bit harder to tell potential key features of the bird that can be breed/color specific.

The label was wrong, or else the chick was in the wrong bin.

Bielefelders and Sapphire Splash have un-crested heads. So the crest of feathers on the chick is proof that it cannot be either one of those.
