A "newbie" needs help (new pics added)

I was given 4 baby chicks today. I was told they are "barred rocks" and "white rocks".

Does that look right? Also, I need guesses for their age. They are extremely fluffy, and one of the white chicks is getting wing feathers.

Oh, and I could not find food for them today (feed stores were closed), so I am giving them plain oats (crushed, but not powder). Will this be okay until tomorrow?

I've heard cooked eggs/egg yolks is good for them.

Age looks right at about 4 days. Not sure what they are. Yes the food will work till tomorrow.

Definitely not barred rocks. Barred rocks are black.

Possibly EEs? Do they have greenish legs and/or fluffy cheeks?

barred rock chicks are black w/ white bellys those look like rhode island reds

I dont know to much about chickens either but I have seen chick pictures and ya...those definately aren't barred rocks. Good luck as they grow.

Ok, I got a better picture of the brown one. His legs are a light brown color, and get darker in the front.

The darker ones look like younger versions of my EE/Ameracaunas.
