These ladies are two weeks old. Any ideas as to what breed they are?

TIA

Assuming these are hatchery chicks and going off these photos alone. Would need broadside pics with legs showing to confirm.
First pic, clockwise. Most likely breeds would be.

Lavender Orpington
Silver Laced Wyandotte
Barred Rock
Buff Orpington
Speckled Sussex
Speckled Sussex
Lavender Orpington
 
I agree with most of what Gray Farms said on the breeds. The only one I'm second guessing is the one or two he called a Speckled Sussex... that first chick--clockwise--that looks like a chipmunk seems to have muffs? I'm guessing that one's an Easter Egger. The second chipmunk-looking one might be that, too, or, as he said, a SS, or even a Welsummer or some other breed.
Your chicks are beautiful, by the way.
When I got my new chicks on Saturday, I was going to get a SS and a Lavender Orpington, but by the time we got there, they were already sold out. So I brought home a silkie bantam, a naked neck (aka a Turken), a BLR Wyandotte, and a blue slate heritage turkey poult instead. :D
 
We really need better pics to tell for sure. Can you take a comb and leg pic of each one? Also, which hatchery did you order from? This can help in narrowing down possibilities.

They came from Meyer Hatchery. I will try to post some comb/leg pics when able. I'm not too worried about the breeds, I just wanted to see if I was in the right ballpark.
