We have our first group of chickens that hatched from an educational mix in my son's school. There are seven total, but we have no idea about the breeds or sexes. I've labeled the following, hoping someone could help us ID a few of them. Thanks so much!


No idea on Peep.



Again, no clue on Georgia.



Pretty sure we've got a rooster here with Neville, but no idea on breed.



I'm guessing a female, but no clue on breed with Rosie.



Lastly, we're guessing this one is a Salmon Faverolle female. Ideas?
 
I think you are correct on all the genders. My first thought was Georgia and Peep may be Ameracaunas. They're not very common to get unless you get them from a breeder or a good hatchery. Peep looks to be a white and Georgia looks to be a Blue. The only problem with that I see is peep, and the leg color on her is weird. Did she start off with pink legs or are they just spotted like that? A picture of the faces of peep and Georgia might help. It looks from the side they have pea combs and beards and muffs. If so they are Ameracauna, but there's a small chance they can be Easter Eggers if there's something I'm not seeing. I'm not sure of the breed on the others.
Here's the Ameracauna scrapbook to see if your birds match these.

Thanks so much for the link. I think you're right about both. The adult white and blue Ameracaunas look a lot like our girls. They went to bed early tonight, so I'll try to get a face shot tomorrow. Thanks again for all of your help (and input)!

If it helps, the eggs were from MyPetChicken.com
 
Vanessa looks like a Salmon Faverolles pullet.
Neville and Rosie look like they have a few feathers on their legs and feet bur sparse?? Salmon Faverolles crosses would be like that and they may or may not have beards or muffs. I have a few Faverolles crosses that are very, very similar.
