could these be welsummer ,please help me figure what breed these are

The rooster looks to be a white rock. The chicks are probably 3 different breeds or perhaps even crossbreds.
 
t Not chipmunk enough for Welsummer or EE or SS...maybe a Partridge Rock (I think that's a single comb?)

those look like they could be green legs???? If so definitely EE

Possibly Production Red, or a Buff bird...not sure yet...lots of chicks that color..pink legs...maybe Buff Orp

Here's your chance for a Welsummer...if yellow legs, Welsummer. If beige/pink Speckled Sussex...although I've seen those leg colors differ for each of those breeds in feed store chicks. I'm leaning towards Welsummer as not enough white spots coming through, and I think some salmon is coming into the breast...if that happens, you've got yourself a nice little Welsummer girl. Strong head mark and liner plus salmon chest...girl. EDITED TO ADD: Brown Leghorn will also have yellow legs, but will stay more golden brown/dull tones...your Welsummer (if it is one) will be more reddish and definitely have more of a salmon red to the chest. It is hard to tell for awhile, but Welsummer will have a red earlobe and the Brown Leghorn will have a white earlobe which you will see as they grow.

Same as first bird...Partridge Rock?
red earlobe? He could be a White Rock, but his body shape suggests more of a White Orpington...may be a mix. My guess on that one.

er

My guesses.

The one with the eye makeup, the dark around the eyes, is a welsummer, looks like a pullet from what I can see. We have 4 welsummer pulleys and they looked just like that one
 
Your right could be either I wasn't familiar with the othe breed, I just looked at chick pictures and they are very similar. Just from first look it looks just like my welsummers though
 
What are you looking at that distinguishes #4 as being a Brown Leghorn or Welsummer?
They look close at this age, but this chick is getting in the reddish brown coloring (if my photo is right)...Brown Leghorns stay more dullish brown with gold highlights in neck while Weslummers get more redwood color in their breast (if females).

This little chick has some spots of that redwood coming in towards the chest so there is hope it is a Welsummer rather than a Brown Leghorn.

Time will tell...and the eventual ear lobe color.

I currently have Welsummers hens and Brown Leghorn hens and a rooster in my flock of 16. Both had banana yellow legs as chicks and it wasn't until after about eight weeks old that I could visibly notice the slight color change between them. Time will reveal it.

I suspect dpitts13 may have known a Welsummer was in there so hopefully that's what chick #4 turns out to be. I hope for their sake it is as that is what they want. I love the dark eggs I get from my wellies.
