Any guess on the breeds of my chicks?

When I picked up my chicks from Theisen's farm store 3 days ago they were simply labeled as assorted heavy breed pullets. So anyone want to take a guess at their breeds? I've taken my best uneducated guesses!

Here is a group shot so you can see their body markings.

At first i thought maybe this little one was a barred rock but now I'm thinking a sex linked black is more likely?

Welcome to BYC! Very cute little chicks. The first one looks like a barred rock, I could be wrong though. The second two are certainly golden laced wyandottes (Have had plenty of experience with them) The third I'm not sure about. It looks like a chick from the time my purebred pheasant bantam roo escaped and bred with my Rhode Island Red. Do both of the yellow ones have feathered legs? If so then they're probably both cochins. They are adorable! Do you have any other chickens? Are these gals gonna be your first flock?
 
These are my first! Although I have a feeling i may become a crazy chicken lady...and its only been 3 days lol

Both the yellow chicks do have feathered legs.

Not exactly sure how old my chicks are or how quickly I should expect their feathers to come in, but I was surprised to see that they are already starting to get some tail feathers. I also can't believe how quickly their wings are filling in with feathers. Its crazy!
 
#1 is a Barred Rock or Black sexlink cockerel, too young to tell which. Definitely not Australorp with the white spot on the top of the head.
#2 Gold Laced Wyandotte
#3 Partridge Wyandotte (rose comb and penciled wing feathers)
#4 Light Brahma (pea comb, feathered legs)

Awesome. Thank you! So glad my pictures were good enough for the combs to be identifable. I've looked up the different types but have no experience with chickens to really tell them apart with any confidence.

Single comb looks like a tiny row of spikes. Rose comb looks like a flat wedge. Pea comb look like tiny lumps.
