Breed help please

[NanaHess]

I ordered 6 sexed chicks online in May and wound up with 3-4 roos

plus I can't tell which breed are which, cause I am new. I have tried searching for images of the breeds and waiting it out, but now I just feel stupid.
I suspect that the Ameraucanas are actually EE's. The Lavender Orpingtons look nothing like the ones I already have, more like some sort of splash with feathered legs? Also was supposed to get Blue Copper Marans which I 'think' are chicks 5 & 6.
Please help me identify what I actually have. I have pics of all 7 @ 1 and 5 weeks, plus at 7 or 8 weeks ~ 1 of 4 packing peanuts survived shipping in mild weather even though I picked up 16 hours after shipping, no more mail order for me ever

#1 @ 1, 5 and 7 weeks




#2 @ 1, 5 and 8 weeks




#3 1, 5 and 7 weeks




#4 @ 1, 5 and 7 weeks




#5 @ 1, 5 and 8 weeks




#6 @ 1, 5 and 7 weeks




#7 @ 1, 5 and 8 weeks




Thank you again!

Thank you again!

Not quiet sure on some of the breeds, I just guessed.

That would be really unfortunate, not because I would or do dislike the breeds but because I paid extra (and waited) for sexed chicks of those 3 breeds to be ready and will have wound up with 4 out of 6 as roos and not a single breed that I ordered. I am really liking #'s 2, 4 & 5 so at this point breed doesn't matter as long as #2 isn't a cockerel too.
Just frustrated that I paid so much for pullets of specific breeds and would have been better off getting a random straight run breeder choice pack

Thanks for the guesses though, much appreciated!

I think 4 & 5 are Easter Eggers.

6 & 7 could be Marans--white and splash respectively, or both Splash. Where did they come from?

Could #2 be a Golden Cuckoo Marans? I doubt it's a Barred Rock or Cuckoo Marans.

The other feather legged guy, #3, I dunno.

Agree that #1 is some sort of production red--by whatever name you wanna call it.

Looking at the breeds they offer I was pretty certain on 6&7 being splash marans not orpingtons. I hadn't considered that #2 could be a cuckoo maran or golden cuckoo maran, they sell both. The EE though makes sense on 4&5 I guess. Their images of the Ameraucanas for sale do not look like either of them which is what had me wondering if they were the Blue Copper Marans I ordered. Since #1 and #3 are 2 of my positively certain roos the breed is less important for the frying pan (sorry). Mostly I am just curious and wanting to know what I was shipped. My patience with nature revealing herself to the rookie has run out.
I have contacted the hatchery (Cedar Creek) asking for guidance as well. Lesson learned the hard way, but I did get a few sweet little hens out of it.
Thank you for looking and helping

4 and 5 are easter eggers. The reason they probably dont look like the picture the hatchery has is because they can came in all sorts of colors.

I ordered from a breeder once, almost $200 worth of chicks, and only received 3 out of about 15 correct. I had a terrible time trying to figure out what they really sent me, and then get rid of the birds I had no desire to keep, (most of them...)

If you really want ameraucanas, look on the breeders web site for trustworthy breeders. I've ordered from 2, in different states, and been thrilled with them.

Thanks, I actually like my cute little EE's and already have some nice Blue Wheaten Ameraucanas from a great local breeder. For now I am going to have to settle on eating all those roosters & hopefully finding out what my mystery chicks are. Down the road I will probably stick with the local, he has some beautiful birds

Of the 6 sexed chicks that I ordered in May I have only 3 girls. Did not include new photos of the 4 known roos.
Also filled in with 2 Blue Isbars but we lost one to a dog, hoping the remaining one isn't another roo, so far looking good at 9ish weeks?
I am certain that I have 2 Easter Eggers, both skittish and one fo them is pretty aggressive to humans, BITER!
1 remaining unknown breed (ordered Blue Copper Marans, Lavender Orpingtons ~ got what I think might be a Splash Marans? The breeder carries those but is no longer responding to my inquiries, maybe due to not shipping any of the breeds I ordered and over half the sexed chicks were cockerels)
These are at 11 weeks old.




My unknown, possible Splash Marans? She has yellow almost green eyes, more splashing on the other side but not much and feathered legs. 11 weeks.


Here is my little Blue Isbar, hoping not another roo, between 9-10 weeks old



Any other possibilties for my little unknown white chick? Her and the little Isbar are the petite girls(?) that bravely blend in with the Big Girls and roost right up with them in the prime spot.
