These guys came from a bin labeled "Colored Layers" at Rural King and are about 5 weeks old. I knew they would be an assortment and I know feed stores aren't always the best a keeping things sorted. But I just need needed company for a singleton I hatched.

So #1 I'm sticking to actually being an EE with those green legs and muff

#2 and #3 are these little black ones one has feathered feet the other one doesn't but they are otherwise identical. I'm leaning towards being Cochins and they won't hold still for pictures

#4 Red baby I have no clue. Straight comb and yellow legs and I'm a think that he is a roo with that comb

#5 Speckled baby another unknown. Yellow legs as well

#6 I think she might be a brown leghorn but I could be wrong

And a bonus my little white leghorn being a friendly little bugger

#1 EE, #2 Cochin, #3 Maybe Jersey Giant?, #4 I have no idea, #5 Maybe EE?, #6 Maybe Brown Leghorn?, #7 White Leghorn.
 
1: EE
2: Most likely a cochin
3: Try to get a picture of the bottoms of feet. Black australorp= pinkish white underfoot
BJG= yellow underfoot
4: probably EE or RIR with bad colors
5: probably another EE
6: Brown Leghorn

Clean legs = not a Cochin.

Feathered feet, can you take a photo of the feet? Some Marans have feathered feet too, but usually not as many feathers as a Cochin has.
 
The unidentifiable birds could be hybrids. I guess you will know more when they start laying eggs.
