So my husband and I ordered 10 chicks from a local CO op here near Yosemite, but it seems they may have given us some breeds we didn’t order, as well as not given us some of the breeds we did order. They sourced from alchemist farms. We also got gifted 10 more chickens, and I have no idea what breed some of them are as well. If you guys have any clue, please let me know! So curious who is laying what or going to lay what :)

What breeds did you order? A lot of them look to be hybrids (Easter Eggers and Olive Eggers) that don't really come in standard colors, but are bred for their egg laying colors instead.
 
You have some roosters... Looks like you have: Barred rocks, welsummers, and easter eggers.
thank you! do you know which is which? is the brown and black and white larger speckled hen pictured a wellsummer? also…we have two roosters that we know of, but i didn’t intentionally picture them in here, i think one of the wellsummer roosters snuck in the background. but i’m not sure if the smaller gray and reddish/brown guys are roosters as well.

I ordered
x2 Heritage Wellsummers
x2 French Blue Copper Marans
x2 Azure Eggers
x2 Moss eggers (which I’m pretty sure we got none of)
x2 Sage Eggers

Seems like 3,4 and 7 are roosters. The first two are welsummers, 9 and 6 are blue copper marans. And 5 is a egger, not sure wich though.

If you don't have any other birds that look like pic 1 & 2 (are they the same chick?) they are the Welsummers.

Your French Black Copper Marans is pic 7. If the blue chick has feathered feet, (pic 9) it's your blue Marans. ("French" = feathered feet)

Your Azure Eggers and your Moss & Sage Eggers could be any of the others because they are bred for their egg color and not their look, so I would just wait to see what color eggs they lay to identify them.
