I purchased my chicks from TSC. I am supposed to have 3 reds, 2 ameracauna, and not sure what 3 white ones are ( cant remember to save my life!). Well one of my so called reds turned out to be definitely not a red! (its the big white and black one). Also, in one of the pics you will see the "breast" of th chicken with what looks like brown feathers. What kind of chicken is this? I thoight it was dirt until,I realized it wasn't going away! If anyone could browse through and tell me what breeds I have and also if anyone cold possibly sex them???!!! I'm like 7 weeks new to this! Im learning a lot fast!

The ones that are nearly completely white with just a spot here or there of black look like AustraWhites. I would guess that. However, I don't know where your TSC got their chicks, so I can't be sure. I think California Whites are the same coloration.
 
The white ones look just like mine, that I got from TSC. 2 of mine have a couple black dots too. Mine are Cornsh Rocks. They are a staple at just about ever TSC. They from extremely fast.
I don't know about the black and gold one, but it is gorgrous!
I'm still knew to chickens, myself.

I've only had chickens for a year this month but it looks like you have some Easter Eggers. The white one with orangey chest looks a little like my Ameraucana. I went to my first poultry show last Saturday and it was a real pleasure to see what the different breeds are supposed to look like! I got my first chickens from a feed store but I just bought two New Hampshire hens and they are beautiful. Yours are very pretty and I think the enjoyment of having chickens is the most important thing.

Id say your white ones may be leghorns. I know they are not supposed to have black on them but i got some leghorns from a hatchery last yr and 2 out of the 4 had some black feathering. That is just the imperfection of a hatchery bird

Thanks. Do you know what the big black and white one with big red comb might be?
 
The white birds are a laying hybrid. Different hatcheries create them and call them various names. They aren't breeds, but hybrid crosses designed to be good layers. They are not likely Leghorns either. The rusty red one is a production red and will also be a good layer. The black one is an easter egger and will lay an egg of some shade of green/blue/olive.

The white bird with the black neck markings, kind of Columbian Rock coloration, with the large red comb and wattles is likely a cockerel. At 7 weeks, pullets' combs are still yellow and no wattles.
