That first picture... with the lambs, all 3 of those came from your eggs - I watched them hatch!
(really should have mentioned that...) What color egg should the naked neck have come out of? If it came out of the olive egg than the unknown chick would be the Wellsomer x Blw Am.
The silver one either came from you or is from a black sex link roo (BOxBR) crossed with a silkie cross (no idea what the cross was with) here is another picture of it: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/uploads/77670_chickies2012_018.jpg
I hatched 4 Wellie x Am today...all look chipmunkish. They will be OEs. They are cooped up together, no other roo.
The NN could have come from any other egg.

Oiii! The chipmunk came from the EExEE. Was first to hatch, my youngest son promptly named him/her bandit. The second one to hatch is the picture on the far left, it came out of the OE x EE egg. Then I went to bed and in the morning found massive chaos, with the olive egg and the wellie x am hatched and about 5 new chicks running about, one of which was the nn. So hmmm, err,
lol! Thank you so much for the eggs! I'm enjoying them, and the puzzle too. Need webcam for the next hatch....
Could you post some pictures of your wellie x Ams?
Lot's of pages to read ! Hatch is complete: 8 of 9 local eggs hatched and 2 of 24 shipped eggs hatched. I still have 4 chicks in the special care nursery; one was bleeding from it's umbilicus (is that what one calls it in a chicken?) treated professionally with toilet paper
