Any breed guesses for these day-old chicks?

Probably the one wi feathered legs, And the black one, are Olive Eggers.

That’s what I’m thinking, too, now that the chicks are four weeks old.

Red chick with straight comb first feathered cream and now is growing in red...red sexlink seems likely. I am thrilled to have a good layer in the mix.

Chipmunk chick with feathered legs has given me fits...she had wry neck and is just bouncing back after vitamin therapy. Can’t tell comb type but suspect pea comb. I think EE or Olive Egger based on greenish, feathered legs and partridge-type feathers coming in. Can’t wait to see what color she lays!

Black chick with pea comb and muff is feathering solid black. Maybe I got lucky and got a true black Ameraucana, but Olive Egger is also likely. I wonder if there’s any distinguishing feature I should look for to distinguish between the two breeds?

If you have a Ameraucana, you will know it. They don't just float around. they are more expensive, and always labeled specifically, with the color.

I got these chicks from a hatchery worker. He didn't check breeds when he chose them from the bins; they were overruns from the day's orders. They could be any breed except a barnyard mix...rarity or cost weren't in play when they were chosen, just what hatched that day.

Gotcha. What hatchery was it?

He works at hatcheries all over the state, so I'm not sure where he was that day...it's possible that it was Pete's. If so, then we maybe have two OE, since that's the only pea comb breed they hatch and both the chipmunk chick and the black one have pea combs. It'd also explain why the chipmunk chick has feathered legs/feet, since their OEs are Ameraucana x Black Copper Maran! Hmm...mystery solved?

Looking at the rest of their list, I'm thinking maybe my little red and white chick is a Novogen!

I’m just following up, a year later. The little black chick turned out to be a f1 Olive Egger roo and went to live at a very nice farm. Chipmunk chick with feathered legs is an Olive Egger hen now. She lays lovely speckled khaki eggs. The red chick is a novogen and is my friendliest chicken and best layer.

Thanks for the update. For the record my guess from prior to seeing the date on the op and your final post was the following:
Chipmunk w/ feathered legs and muffs = olive egger (marans Ameraucana cross)
Blue chick w/ muffs (I couldn't see legs other than black/slate coloring) = likely Easter egger of some blue coloration
Red/gold chick = some type of production red sex link

So it looks like I would've been pretty close lol.
