Cant see there legs and toes, this can also be indicators of breed.
If you ordered Americanas, they dont have a standard and can look like anything

It was a rare breed mix from cackle hatchery. I know the black one is a barred rock because I ordered three of those too.

The one with splotchy face markings makes me think of a Buttercup.
If it is a Buttercup, you will know for sure when the comb is big enough to see easily: they have a very distincive comb.

For the stripey ones, Brown Leghorn and Welsummer are possibilities, but so are quite a few other breeds.

You can also look through the chick photos on pages like these:

Each hatchery will have a slightly different list of breeds, and the individual chicks can look a bit different even when they are the same breed, but it can help narrow down the options a bit. Then look carefully at details like foot color, comb type, feathered feet or not, and so forth. After that, it's a waiting game as they grow their feathers, molting several times before they get the proper adult pattern-- by that time, the breed is usually obvious, but sometimes you have to wait for eggs to help sort out similar-looking breeds, and sometimes you never do know for sure because more than one breed has all the traits you can easily check.
