Pictures 3, 6, 7, 11, and 12 are boys. So 4 cockerels and 9 pullets if I'm seeing right. Not a bad draw. Do you know if your wife got eggs from a hatchery or from someone selling random eggs? I'm guessing most of them are mixed breeds. The ones with puffy faces in the last 6 pictures are Easter Eggers or have EE parents. Most of the other pullets look like they have a chance of being Easter Eggers as well. You'll know once they start laying.
 
It’s going to be hard to tell breeds, they’re likely all mixes. I see a lot that have easter egger in them though, those are the ones with the poofy cheeks and tiny combs.

In the first photo, the two black/brown ones on the right are boys.
Second photo, one on the left is a boy.
Third photo, barred one in front and colorful one in back are boys.
Fourth and fifth photos are pullets.
Sixth and seventh is a boy.
8 and 9, the little white one is a pullet.
10 is a pullet.
11 and 12 are boys.
13-16 are all pullets.
17 I was kinda on the fence about, but pretty sure she’s a pullet.
18-20 is a pullet.

She has a farmer that gives the school the eggs. He called it a barn yard mix.

That's what I would call them as well. If any of the hens lay blue or green eggs you can also refer to them as Easter Eggers, but it's really just an umbrella name for any bird, especially mixed birds, that lay colored eggs.
