Our chicks arrived this morning

I have been looking at pics all morning on the internet and am at a loss as to what we have, lol. Can anyone help identify these breeds? They are from the Meyer Hatchery rainbow layers assortment, if that's any help (it hasn't been a help to me!)

Chick #1 - we only have one of these little ladies, the only yellow chick in the bunch, with fuzzy legs

Chick #2 - we only have one of these as well, light tanish coloring

Chick #3 - we have several of these. I am thinking EE/Americaunas, as they look like little chipmunks. They are the only onees I have any clue on, so i am hoping i am not wrong

Chick #4 - we have several of these as well. Look a lot like the ones I think are EE/Americaunas, but they don't have the chipmunk markings. Just the same light and dark brown coloring. Darker brown through the center of the back, between the wings; lighter brown on either side

Chick #5 - these ones are cracking me up. We have three of these. Yellow and black with little mushrooms of yellow feathers on their heads. My SO has started calling them the Don King chicks and my 7 year old calls them the mushroom chicks

Chick #6 - these look just like the mushroom head chicks, but without the mushroom heads. We have a bunch of these as well

Chick # 4 looks to be a Partridge Rock. Yay for you!

ETA
#6 is one of the white egg layers. Could be Ancona, Exchequer leghorn, etc.

#3 looking like a Welsummer...

#5 is a Polish (I think WCB)(white crested black)

The first might be a light brahma or a cochin?
is the comb flat(rose) or bumpy(staight)?

All of your EEs should have pea combs

I could be wrong but number 3 looks like a welsummer9with the eyeliner markings) and 5 I want to say white crested blackPolish
 
#1 - I was thinking buff cochin or light brahma, but then someone else said maybe faverolles, and she does have the little black and white feathers in her wings ... so i am totally not sure on her now


#3 - welsummer definitely looks right. darn! That was the only one i *thought* I knew for sure, lol!


#5 - WCB polish - a friend just id'd her as this as well, so I think that's what these definitely are
 
#1 looked like a white cochin, EXCEPT for the colored tips on it's wings. So not sure that I would call it a cochin

#2 not sure

#3 looks like an easter egger, or could maybe be something else? My easter eggers had the chipmunk/eye liner thing going on

#4 not sure on this one either

#5, definately a polish, looks to be a white crested blue polish. We have one that looks EXACTLY like this and the wing feathers are coming in a gorgeous grey/blue color

#6 not sure

Hmmmm, the only one I am sure about #5

Sorry I couldn't be more help.
 
Do Welsummers have dark legs, though? The EE's at TSC looked like those, both chipmunks and all brown ones.
