It is early to tell on breeds, but some of them have my completely stumped. I'm guess the red on will be a (Rhode Island or something in the mix), the yellow maybe a (buff orphington), the 2 black (barred rocks?)... The chipmunk & yellow with gray ones have me stumped along with the little brown guy...
If you guys have any idea it would be awesome to hear.
Thanks :)

All of the "odd ball colored ones", have the fluffy cheeks & such.

The chipmunk striped ones could be Easter Eggers, do they both have little beards? The grey and yellow one resembles a mille fleur D'uccle that I bought from Orscheln's but that is a bantam breed. It might help if you can post some close-up pictures.

Little brown buy might be a Partridge Rock (hard to see it)...and I agree if they have beards and muffs the chipmunks could be Easter Eggers...otherwise they could be a lot of different breeds...if these are layer types, from Welsummer to Speckled Sussex.
 
I posted a few more pictures, I'll post more when I clean out their box in a few. All of the "Odd ball" colored ones seem to have those little fuzzy cheeks and fuzz around the throat (not sure if that's the "beard"). I honestly would love for some of them to be bantams, but I'm curious now, because I do need some regular size layers.

If the fuzzy under the beak area is considered that, yes. :)
 
The ones with beards are easter eggers. A beard is the fluff around the beak and face. Makes them look like they have chubby cheeks
Pretty much all of them except the ones I know, have that beard. The chimpmunks, dark brown, and two bluish yellow ones.
