Guess the breeds? I'm going bonkers!

We have one week olds that we've got some guesses about their breeds, but not sure - they were "rare mix" and one is a "rare marans", but I don't know who is what!

I am thinking either barnevelder, silver penciled rock, or maaaybe an easter egger?

Two pics of the same chick. She has fluffs on her legs. I was thinking she might be our marans, but she doesn't look exactly like any of the marans chicks I find pictures of.

Clean legged, little grey smudges on the top of her head.

Maybe a buckeye or rhodie? Maturing slower than the others.

She just looks like a generic yellow chick to me. So I figure I'll just have to wait and see with this one!

Thanks for any help or advice!
 
Shots in the dark, but I think...

1. Barnevelder if it has a single comb...
2. Partridge Brahma if it has a pea comb...
3. Not sure...
4. Looks like a Red Sex Link really. If it has a pea comb it could be a Buckeye...
5. White Leghorn...
 
You're definitely right on the barnevelder! :) I still don't know on the other ones. The yellow chicks especially have me baffled. They Gros so fast!!

Update! My chicks have grown, so I thought I would show you guys. :) I have a buff brahma, golden cuckoo marans, delaware, barnevelder, buckeye, and the little yellow chick is still a mystery so far.

Lol so now that I have a pretty good idea, I get predictions! ;) I kid, I do appreciate the help.
I had sent pictures of the chicks in before they got much feathering and asked for help IDing them, and those are the breeds I was told-- I'm fine with her being an easter egger though, I'd prefer a blue layer! :) The red chick could only be a rhodie or a buckeye-- so your vote's for rhodie? Thanks for the comments guys! :)
The unknown breed I did not post again, she went to a different chick enthusiast. She's definitely not a buff brahma though-- clean legs, very pale blueish-wheaten colored feathers coming in, but she does have a peacomb. I'll text her new mamma and ask for an updated photo to share here. The white one I just posted an updated photo is most likely a delaware, as mentioned-- she's spot on the description and photos.
 
Production Red. Most hatchery Rhode Island Reds are actually Production Reds. They are too light red and have a completely different body shape, they don't look anything like a real Rhode Island Red.
And there are no guarantees for blue eggs from the Easter Egger. She could end up laying brown, green, or cream instead.
 
Yes, you're right. I spoke too quickly, I simply meant I love having variety and I already have a couple that will be laying very dark eggs. We had an EE at my old job that laid quite a wide variety of blues and greens, and another that even laid "pink" eggs. :) They're fun. Thanks for the advice.
