I'm not good at breeds, but there are lots of people here that will help you. There is also a place you can post. What Breed or gender is this ? https://www.backyardchickens.com/forums/what-breed-or-gender-is-this.15/

Thank you. I will repost there

Hello, and welcome to BYC. I agree with @NatJ that several if not all may be crossbred.

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
They all look like mixed breeds to me. The one has a lot of Delaware in him.

If they came from TSC, then they will all be breeds or hybrids from some hatchery.
TSC often gets chicks from Hoover's hatchery, but I've heard they sometimes get them from other hatcheries as well.

Hoovers hatchery sells a number of mixes with names like "Calico Princess" and "Rainbow" that could produce colors like what you have.

The dark one with some feathers on his feet might be part French Marans (not right for any specific colors.) Marans mixes are often sold as Olive Eggers and sometimes as layers of dark brown eggs, depending on what is used for the other part of the mix. So he might be one of those types.

And I do think you have one Black Sexlink. The one that might be a Delaware could just as easily be one of the mixed types.

Given that you have so many males, if the chicks were sold as pullets, they must have been mis-labeled. Unfortunately this does happen sometimes.

Welcome to the coop! I use the Forums and Articles tabs at the top of the page to do research. You can get lost for hours. It's nice to know you are minutes away from getting help with questions and emergencies! I always check in the "What's New" section as well at the top of this page. This way I can read how I may have a similar question or help give some advice.
