My chicks arrived this morning safe and healthy with nice clean fluffy butts! The blue ameraucana and cuckoo marans didn't hatch out so I ended up with the 21 I ordered plus two additionals. I know which ones are the buff orpingtons but thats about it so I need your help! Here they are all 23 of them! Sorry about the poor quality of some of the photos, they didn't want to stay still!

Blue Ameraucana roo 1
Barred Rock 2
Black Australorp 4
Buff Orpington 2
Dominique 2
Easter Egger 5
Light Brahma 2
Olive Egger 2
Meyer Meal maker 1

Black with white on their bellies are your Australorps.
Black with white on the tops of their heads are your Barred Rocks and Dominiques.
Feathered legs are your Brahma's - not sure about the one that appears blue with feathered feet - maybe that's your meal maker
Brown ones will be the olive and easter eggers.
 
Oh gosh, your chicks are SO cute! Congrats! I can only confirm that TLWR is right about the Black Australorps because I just bought chicks from that breed. I know how to recognize them better as adults, still learning how to do that with chicks.
 
I'm guessing the 14th picture is your ameraucana. It's awful blurry, but it looks blue and it's getting a slate color to its legs. The Easter eggers will have willow colored skin on their legs.

Agree with above with the following additions...
Black with white head spots--straight combs are Rocks. Rose combs are Dominiques
Feathered legs are Brahmas or can be your Olive eggers. Both should have pea combs, but they'll be easy to tell apart as they feather in.
I agree the 14th pic must be your blue Amer, no other pic fits that.
