Hello - These chicks were in the Bantam bin at Tractor Supply. Two are Polish but colors I've not seen before with Chipmunk stripe down back. Does anyone know what this coloring will turn out to be and if it has a name?

The other bantam chicks, I have no idea of breed except for a silkie that seems to not have leg feathers (think it is a blue silkie as far as feather color).

Some look a little droopy - I'm working on perking them up and hope all will make it.

I believe (don’t know this for a fact) that Tractor Supply uses Privett Hatchery for a lot of their shipments. I would go on Privett’s website and click on the bantam section and scroll down the pictures until you can friend some closely related chicks. Many other websites have lists you can scroll down too.
Good luck figuring it out!
It’s pretty difficult sometimes!
 
The chipmunk one with the stripes reminds me of my Silkies they both had the same coloring, same stripe, (a smaller poof) the male had spots on the top of his head and I actually named him Chippie they both turned out buff colored, male turned out a little darker rustier with darker feathering underneath, the hen turned out lighter cleaner buff.
 
1. Either Porcelain or White D'uccle. (Hard to see the color. Could you post a better pic in natural lighting?)
2. Black Cochin
3. Red Crested Red Polish
4. Red Crested Red Polish
5. Mottled Cochin
6. Self Blue Old English Game Bantam (OEGB)
7. Mottled Cochin
8. Cream or Gold Buttercup OEGB
9. Red Crested Red Polish
10. Red Crested Red Polish
11. White or Porcelain D'uccle

Here are some pics of Red Crested Red Polish Chicks:

Some of these are different angles of the same chick, but a lot of times when I upload photos it changes the order in which they appear for whatever reason.

Chick number 1 and 11 are the same, but it didn't make it. I am so disappointed as I would have loved to have one of the porcelain d'ucclles.

Thank you for your help! I'm excited to have some old English game bantams! I didn't even know the Red Crested red polish was a thing. And I didn't realize that there was something that looked so much like a silkie chick that wasn't actually a silkie, but rather is the self blue game bantam. Very interesting and explains the lack of feathered legs. Thanks again!

Thanks for the tip. They said these came from Hoover Hatchery.
