Ordered the brown egg layers from McMurray--have no clue what they are! 1st 3 pics are the same kind, next 2 are feather footed, 6th pic is a big black one, just started to get some color, next one maybe an orp? and we have no idea what the last one is? Any help is appreciated!! Oh- we got 10 exra roo's from McMurray, think they all are the same, they are the ones that are yellow.

The feather-legged ones are light brahmas.

The 6th pic looks like an easter egger, but that wouldn't be a brown egg layer

Buff colored one looks like a buff orp.

The first 3, I don't know, maybe partridge wyandottes.

My thoughts exactly, but for the EE - I've known people to throw those in brown egg layer assortments. Also, my only EE hen from McMurray lays brown eggs.

Dark Chick (first picture, and probably next two) Dark Cornish
Buff Chick- Buff Orpington
White and Black chick with feathered legs- Light Brahma
White and Black chick without feathered legs- Columbian Wyandotte, or Delaware if it has a single comb
The Dark chick with Green legs- is that possibly your extra bonus chick. Chicken #26? Doesn’t look like any of the breeds that should be in there. Not sure what it is, but E.E seems possible.

White chicks: If all of them aren’t roosters (McMurry should have marked them if they were packing peanuts) Then they could be
White Rocks- yellow legs
White Orp- white legs
White Giant- willow legs
 
Our chicks came from McMurray's as well - Arrived March 8th. We received 10 packing peanuts that look just like yours. If you still have the box, look on the inside of the lid. Ours stated the the packing peanuts are all "Red Star Males added for warmth". They started out a very light yellow. The feathers have grown in mostly pure white. A few of them have some reddish/rust speckles on the wings and some have a hint of buff/off-white in the neck area. When the dark speckles started growing in it looked like dried blood and at first I thought some pin feathers were getting picked, but it is just their colors.
