Ordered 50 chicks. 25 I ordered specific breeds and know who is who. 25 ish are a Rare Breed Special Lot Any help to identify would be greatly appreciated.

1. White Crested Black Polish
2. Silkie?? No Clue...polishy head but feathered feet! Maybe a banty? Its on the smallish side (there are 2 both are the same size).
3. Sumatra?
4. Speckled Sussex?
5. BB Red Game or Phoenix?
6. No Idea
7. White Laced Red Cornish?
8-15 NO Idea.

Feathered feet on 2, 5, 8, 11, 12, 13, 14.
I thought both chicks in 8 are the same so i gave them one number.


Any help / corrections would be greatly appreciated. I can get addt'l pictures of anybody. I LOVE baby chicks :D

Could 2 be a sultan? I agree 4 are speckled sussex. 5, 8, 11, 12, 13 and 14 are Cochins. I'm not sure on the others, they're all super cute!
 
Yes 5 toes on number 2. What does 5 toes mean? I hadn't considered silkie b/c I thought the legs had to be darker and it didn't match any of their pictures.

Chicks theoretically could be from Rare and Unusual Breeds, Cochins / Feather Footed, and Top Hats (because I got some white crested black polish)

Also, still pretty sure the #2's are bantams. They are the smallest things in the brooder.
 
The feathered footed could be Cochin or brahma, both have heavy foot feathering.

9 and 10 could be Old English Game Birds... 10 maybe a silver duckwing and 9 some kind of buff or red variety.
