Not the best pic, but these are the grand babies from Klaus and Dahlia that the neighbor hatched (4 1/2 weeks old) looks like she's got a pair

What are they?

Black English Orpingtons, only 2 of them (by the feeder/waterer) no clue what the others are

Maybe? I’d be thinking two cockerels. Lol

We shall see

Are these chicks all the same age? The orpingtons look huge. And Colt is right about 2 cockerels.

I've still got some learning to do from the master

I honestly don't know the age of the other chicks

Looked like 6 won't hatch (1 or 2 didn't develop, the others were definitely blood rings), and 3-5 I couldn't tell. The rest seemed pretty healthy.

Of the controls, 3 are going strong, and 1 never started.

I will say, for shipped eggs, it's not too bad compared to my broody clutches. Yes, apples to cantaloupe here, but out of a dozen under one of my hens, I'd probably get between 7 and 9 chicks, so following that, 18 would probably be about what I'm seeing so far, out of eggs that weren't jostled nearly as much or as old (not saying yours were old, Colt).
I'm honestly more shocked my one control never even developed. But I just grabbed the 4 cleanest eggs that I'd neglected to grab for a while, so it might have been pretty old.
