I could use a little guidance. I got these chicks and one (#1) was supposed to be a Speckled Sussex. As they grow, I am noticing that is not what she looks like-- she has yellow legs, and is a lighter and more even reddish color instead. Is she a Red Sussex or Brown Sussex or something? I don't know anything about those.

Also, bird #2 was supposed to be a Delaware but seems to have a lot of markings for that breed. Definitely white and black though. She is large compared to the others, and has yellow legs. Both have single combs, as well.

These photos are all 6-7 weeks old, with the last one of #1 at 1 week old. Any thoughts or ideas are appreciated!

I looked back through my notes and also for sale the day we bought these chicks were RIR. Does she look like she could have been a RIR that got put back in the wrong bin that day? She does look like photos online of RIR at 6 weeks. I didn't know RIR could be chipmunk-y chicks though
