Here are the new photos. I am still trying to figure out the breed of all except the barred rock I’m also trying to figure out if I have roosters any help is appreciated
They are from Rural King and when I got them the young worker professed he knew nothing about chickens. They had several breeds in each container and there were some photos. But what I thought I was getting isn't what the pictures looked like thus the uncertainty of breed.
Thank you so much for your response! I was thinking the black one might be a roo because of the long tail feathers. I will continue to watch them grow and post pics when they are bigger.
I thought I had Olive Eggers, Sapphire Gem, Lavender Orpington but don’t know for sure. Does anyone else tecognize what breed these chicks are?

I think the ones with a spot on their head are barred rock. There is supposed to be a sapphire something, easter eggers, and I’m not sure what the other kind was? Anyone know?
My question: the heat lamp is up about 2 1/2 feet and they range in age from 4 days to 3ish weeks (I think). We are keeping them in the garage. Do they need the heat kamp at all sonce it’s 80 or higher outside? I have it aimed at 1 corner but I don’t want to overheat them.
I'm not opposed but it was part of the compromise. Now I'm worried I have multiple roosters More pics coming for y'all to help me figure these hens/roosters out!
He's opposed to the crowing. I'm pretty sure this one would be a wonderful rooster if we wanted to breed them but we are just keeping a small flock of layers.
