Anyone know what breeds 'might' be included in Ideal "Rare Breed" special?

This week we received 25 chicks from Ideal that ordered from an email stating "Rare Breed Pullets". I emailed them and they said they couldn't tell me what was going to be in the order. Wasn't really my question but I gave up after that

Anyway, I couldn't find anything on their website, and was wondering if anyone knew the breed pool that they draw from for that kind of special? If I knew what COULD be included, I could look around for chick pictures and try and figure out what I got.
 
This is the description. It makes my head hurt.

Hatchery's choice of Rare Breeds including those listed in the Rare Breed List or listed in the pricing section that includes Dominiques,
which have not been sold as Specific Breeds or Specific Rare Breed Assortments.

WOW from the description it looks like it could be anything that did not sell.

Edited to add:
I went and looked and it looks like if someone ordered pullets then the males end up in the assortments.
Kind of a bummer when someone is trying for an assortment for eggs not meat.

They have a rare breed pullet assortment if you want just females. Also, McMurray has an Ornamental Layer collection from their Rarest of the Rare selection.

Could be almost anything - most of the pics in their description are rarer, except the last two GLW and Delaware...so really the only ones you could eliminate are RIR, PR, WL, BO, sex links, etc. I bet you get some interesting ones, though. Ideal usually sends good assortments.

Post pictures and we'll try to help you!
