Hi all I just received my order from Ideal this morning along with my 7 packing peanut males and 6 surprise pullets. Can you help me identify the breeds. Thanks!

I got 7 packing peanuts, I am thinking they are barred rocks, but not sure. Any Guesses?

#2- single comb

#3 and #1 are probably the same breed

#4- very small

#6 I am pretty sure is a Buff Orpington, she's in the second to the right of the group picture
Here's a group shot of the surprise pullets

I ordered 3 Easter Eggers, 2 Salmon Faverolles, and 1 Partridge rock and 6 surprise pullets and they sent me 7 extra males (packing peanuts). I am not sure what breeds the surprise pullets are or the extra males. Any quesses?
 
Mrs. Fluffy Puffy :

I'd say your packing peanuts are BR or Doms.

Do Dom's have a single comb? These do.

Any guesses about the surprise pullets?​
 
Are you sure those are six surprise pullets? (I mean the ones with the purple dots painted on their heads? ) Sometimes they're roosters.......when they mark them......

No, Doms have rose combs. You probably have Barred Rock roosters.

Surprise pullets:
1. ?
2. BA
3. Ancona?
4. SLW
5. WO?
6. BO
 
The really little one with the speckled face is seriously cute. Are you sure that all those packing peanuts are male? I don't have any reason to think otherwise... but they look like my Barred Rock hen when she was a wee baby.

I know you are all excited -- they are all very cute.
