We were supposed to be guaranteed a breeding pair of blue's -- any idea on which they could be?

You can't sex a Silkie until they are around 4+ months of age, unless they are hatchery quality then you can sex them earlier. Cute chicks!

These were sent from MyPetChicken.com, paid extra for the guarantee

Do you know about how the Blue Gene works?
If you don't, you should read about it to understand the different combinations you get with it.

I want to put in a bet that #7 is a male.

They are still allowed a certain percent of error. So, you may still get a Roo out of that bunch. They are the only that I know that sexes silkies, because it's dangerous from what I hear to vent sex a bantam.
