I'm pretty sure this is a Sicilian Buttercup. We got two of them.




This one is super tiny. I'm thinking maybe a bantam?



This one is kind of grey on top of his head and on his back.


Then they're afew of these redish ones.

 
I agree on the bantam and the buttercup the others I'm not sure enough to say
 
Do you remember what breeds your ordered or was it one of their special mixes that will keep you guessing for the next 3 months..lol! The one has greenish brown legs which is an Easter Egger trait but I can't see enough of the chick to see if it has the puffy cheeks and pea comb of an Easter Egger.
 
Egyptian Fayoumis have greenish legs. There's another pic of him/her up there ^, it doesn't have a beard or muff. I got the Happy Cackle Special. Hatchery choice of 10 pullets, 1 rooster, 10 rare breed assortment, pair of ducks, pair of geese and 2 turkeys.

That one really does look like an Egyptian Fayoumi. The white one with greenish/brown legs looks like it has puffy cheeks which could be an Easter Egger. Another 4 to 6 weeks they will have changed a lot. If you post new pics of them then it will be easier to identify their breed and sex.

Your assortment of chicks really reminds me of a Forrest Gump box of chocolates. Opening up a box of chicks is like opening up a box of chocolates. You never know what you are going to get..lol! They should at least ship a chick chart with the shipment showing pics of each chick and name so you will know which is which..kind of like the chocolate chart you get with a box of Whitmans assorted chocolates...

LOL, that would be helpful. I have been scouring through their pictures on their website and so many breeds look similar. I think they just take unordered leftover chicks and throw them into a box and ship them. I'm not complaining. I love the assortment!
