I got 14 new chicks at a sale last night. Can anyone help identify their breeds, please?

And this is Nemo, my 1 winged chick (supposedly Silkie? but maybe a mix)

I would guess.. the first guess is right. #2 chicks. not sure #3. dunno. #4, Rhode island red or New hampshire red?, last. I dont know. but i kind of doubt Silkie. did you order the chicks assorted?. If so. what was in the assorted bunch? its much easier to give you a say then because then we're not guessing through the 500 different breeds of chicks that look a lot alike

Nope, unfortunately I didn't have any say so in the breeds. I got them at an auction last night, the reddish ones were all in one box and the other 3 colors were in another box.

The one with 1 wing, I got last week all by itself and the box had Silkie chick written on it. The only things telling me that it might be at least part Silkie is the 5 toes on each foot and its size. At almost 2 weeks it is still only the same size as the 2-3 day old standards I just posted.
 
The second ones look strikingly similar to my gold phoenix as chicks

This pick was before they began to feather but the color pattern is the same
 
So I think my possibilities for the little black ones are Australorps, Black Sex Links or Black Jersey Giants.

#2 Maybe Phoenix or Brown Leghorn?

#3 I haven't a clue

#4 RIR?

and Nemo, still no clue. He sort of resembles the little Brahma bantam I had, but both those and Silkies should have feathered feet.
