The lighter chick in the 1st picture looks like a Buff Orpington. The barred bird in the 3rd picture looks like a Barred Rock. The rest I'm not familiar with, but those black birds have a very striking pattern, they are gorgeous. Wait for others to weigh in, it's entirely possible I'm wrong.

I see a Buff Orpington, a Barred Rock, & several Easter Eggers.
 
Omlet and Oreo are your obvious cockerels.

Rocky's comb is suspiciously red, but not as obvious as the other two. I could see that one going either way.

Hammy, Coco,and Lucy look like pullets.

the white one im unsure of the breed but thats definitely a cockerel
 
This is awesome! I am so thankful for the replies and to have access and be apart of this community! Raising chickens has been a lot of fun so far! I look forward to learning more and maybe growing my flock.
 
I was tempted to buy more chicks tonight. I have 6 and a coop for 6 large/8 regular breed or 10 bantam. I may have to give up two roosters (can have 8 but only one can be a rooster). Waiting to see what I definitely end up with first. Suggestions in best kind to get? Thoughts on bantams?
