These are all a variety of silkies.

The breeder I got my eggs off of labeled each egg, but once they started hatching I lost track! I have one more listed possibility than I have of chicks since one died about three days after hatching. She had a chipmuck pattern. I do know who my paint is, since that's a no-brainer.

They are sure pretty!

Well, you know your paint, so the two buff frizzles are the two with orangish-tinted feathers that stick out.

The two that are cuckoo either have a faint white dot on their heads, or you should be able to see barring on their feathers, unlike the others, which aren't cuckoo.

I've not had a blue cream, but blues are usually a light gray or silver color as chicks, then get blue-looking as they grow.

I'm going to guess the 2nd one down is your mille fleur confetti.
 
Here's what they look like to me:
1 cuckoo, possibly split to chocolate
2 I'm guessing the mille fleur confetti
3 buff laced frizzle (looks blue based)
4 buff frizzle
5 just looks white to me
6 Buff laced frizzle showgirl (black based)
7 looks like a chocolate
8 blue cream
9 chocolate cuckoo
10 paint

The chipmunk striped chick that died was a partridge.
1, 2, 3, and 4 are not silkies, they're satins, and 4 is a satin showgirl

Ah, yes, I know there is a split in the community about satin vs silkie and satins are not considered silkies at the judging table. I apologize because I just refer to them as silkies since the breeder is holding them to the SOP of silkie while she works on her project feather patterns.
