I purchased eight chicks from a feed store two weeks ago. I've added and labeled multiple pics of each chick. Probably too young to determine sex, unless anyone wants to take a guess. I'm mostly curious what breed they might be, as I know they're easily switched around or mislabeled. The bins they were in:
1 - Buff Orpington
2 - Starlight Green Egger
3 - Sapphire Gem
4 - Black Sexlink
5 - Barred Rock
6 - Easter Egger
7 - 'Americana'
8 - Welsummer

6 and 8 really stump me, I may have them backwards!

1. Buff Orpington
2 & 3. Hatchery Mixes so they can come in any color (not wrong but I'm personally not sure of a way to say they aren't what they're listed as haha)
4. It's a lot of red coming in for a Black Sex Link... although it could still totally be one : D I'd love to see her when she's older!
5. Looks like a barred rock to me! Probably a cockerel due to the light legs + large head spot, but time will tell!
6. I don't see a beard... so you may have mixed up 6 & 8 : D Welsummer could make sense (although a TON of breeds come in the chipmunk chick colors!)
7. Americana is just a feedstore term for EE, which they look like : D
8. Probably an EE while #6 is the Welsummer ^^
 
I think you're right about which one is the Welsummer and which one is the EE. At least the one they labeled as Americana has cheeks.

Edited cause of typo

Hmm I'm not sure? I don't remember that being on any of the signs but I believe they were stocked from Hoovers Hatchery.
It looks like Hoover's is carrying Bielefelders. They list them as new. https://hoovershatchery.com/bielefelder.html If that chick starts growing a lot faster than the rest, that is what it is. I got a Bielefelder and she is bigger than the other pullets her age.
 
I am vary new to chickens but your number 6 looks just like my brown leghorn. I have 3 of them and mine are 2 months old but i got them when they were a week old.

I have a barred rock as well, your number 5. i think mine is a boy, makes me so sad cause i cant have boys where i live. he is my most loveable bird. He is fine being held and carried. My 14 year old daughter thinks its cool ow he will sit on her arm or shoulder like a parrot as she walks around.
