Help identifying 10 day old chicks

Ok, so it's pretty certain you have 4 turken, and the last 2 pics are 2 Silver Laced Wyandotte, and 2 Barred Rock, though the barred could also be Dominique. But looking close they appear to have a little pointy single comb instead of a wide flat one (Dominiques have a rose comb like wyandottes).

I wonder if it's possible that the brown chick in pic#2 with chipmunk stripes is a Gold Laced Wyandotte. Is that the brown chick referred to earlier with a single comb? Hatchery chicks don't always have SOP (standard of perfection) traits, and I've seen adult wyandottes that have a single comb, it can be confusing. *edit* looks more like a Welsummer as Cyprus mentioned earlier. That would be nice... they lay pretty dark brown eggs!

#3 yellow one with pink on her head could be a Buff Orpington, unless the wing tips are truly white (not buff colored). She may be a Deleware or an Amberlink. Hatcheries will sometimes leg band or color-mark them to differentiate between breeds that look similar as chicks. I bet if you call the hatchery they could tell you.

#4 (brownish red) looks like a red production breed, maybe Rhode Island Red

#5 (gold) Golden Comets or possibly Buff Orps. It's hard to tell what shade of gold/red/buff from the pics when not compared side-by-side to the others, and many chicks looks so similar to other breeds when they're cute little fluff balls., might have to wait til more feathers grow in.

Thank you so much. You’ve been very helpful.
