Bought Rare assortment of chicks from TSC.
Not sure what I have. I am not the most patient person to wait, either lol I have thoughts about what they could be, but really not sure.
The black ones are extremely friendly and all 5 are the same. The brown ones all look alike except one, and she has

more speckled feathers.
 
We've had barred rocks and ours looked a little different....these have yellow, not white (sorry....it's hard to tell with the lighting).
As far as the brown ones....the one with the prominent spots, I thought could be a sussex or a Welsummer, but not sure about the other 4 because of their feathers. 3 of the brown chicks are lighter in color and 2 are darker. Not sure if that helps or makes a difference :)
 
This picture may be a better one....4 of them have feathers like this one

I actually went online and also looked at the catalog....narrowed it down by about half, but that was about it. I even looked at Myer Hatchery and Murray McMurray catalogs for the same breed pics
 
The black and white’s are Barred Rocks. They have single combs and yellow/green/slate legs. The brown one looks to be a Speckled Sussex, but I wouldn’t rule out Welsummer. I can’t see the leg colour great but you’ll soon know when they feather in more.
 
Ok so I just looked online....again! The black ones are NOT barred rocks. I have had them before and they do not look the same. These are a maran of some sort.
