recently i had a hoover’s hatchery specialty rare breed assortment shipped in. Is anyone here able to tell me what breed chicks i may have??
here’s a list of what they may be

Barnevelder, Blue Andalusian, Blue Laced Red Wyandotte, Buff Brahma, Cochin, Columbian Wyandotte, Cuckoo Marans, Dark Brahma, Dominique, French Black Copper Marans, French Cuckoo Marans, French Wheaten Marans, Lavender Orpington, Light Brahma, Midnight Majesty Marans, Olive Egger, Prairie Bluebell Egger, Salmon Faverolle, Sapphire Olive Egger, Silver Lakenvelder, Speckled Sussex, Starlight Green Egger, and Welsummer.

My guesses:

#1 Prairie Bluebell Egger or Starlight Green Egger
(Check the egg color to be sure)

#2 Either Lakenvelder or one of the Egger types
(Leg color doesn't look quite right for a Lakenvelder, but leg color can change as the bird grows, and hatchery birds sometimes have the wrong leg color anyway.)

#3 Columbian Wyandotte (I'm pretty sure on this one)

#4 Dominique, as Pretty Birds said

Chick number two and three both look like Columbian Wyandotte chicks to me. There can be quite a variety in their chick down coloring!:)

Yes, but Lakenvelders also have a Columbian pattern (just a bit more black), and Lakenvelders have single combs. Wyandottes are supposed to have rose combs, and usually do.
 
The Columbian Wyandotte‘s wings look like that as chicks until they feather completely out I agree the comb is wrong on chick 2 but as another poster stated could be a throwback! Or I could be completely wrong as well😊
also I assume they wouldn’t give you two of the same breed in such a package.
