Hatch On Dates: Oct-nov? Dont Forget About This Post!!!

OK, can you guys help me ID these chicks?
I have some mutts, and some I know are Lemon Cochins, but I think there is a Barnvelder in there!
and mine aren't gray, so could that one be it?

I have mixed birds for the ones from my flock, some from either the partridge (hen) welsummer (roo) or from my 'pretty egg' pen, which the hens lay pink green or ivory eggs, and the hens are mixed as a genetic project to make cool egg colors. :) the roos in there are either two mixed (brothers) or a pretty BCM roo.
so, I have two chicks who look totally BCM, two who look distinctly Wellie, and three are Lemon cochin... but...

who is the gray one? who is the lighter striped one? and the other three... ? any of those look like a Barnie?

The pretty little black legged dark grey baby looks a lot like the Blue and Splash Marans I have hatching out right now. I got 2 dark dark grey, 2 light silvery grey, and one yellow that is lightly dusted with a pale silver. (Hope kiddo gets back soon with the camera cause I want pictures).

Other than just one egg that pipped and peeped, the rest of the ones I have only pipped and most of that pipping was on the underside of the egg like the chicks were going "heeheehee, we're gonna sneak up on her!"
 
on those late to hatch ones don't give up too soon. I had 8 hatch 2 days after hatch day. They did not start making peeping sounds or rocking until they were ready to come out. It went from nothing to baby laying outside a shell within an hour. On a previous hatch I had babies still hatch 4 days after hatch day. Hope everyone has rocking eggs and peeping babies soon. This last went so well I am already thinking about more eggs
 
Well I had two eggs pip at about 7pm pacific Thursday. That's day 19. Waiting to see if they zip soon. Lucky the broody is very tame and patient with me.
