Just got five new chicks and I'm hoping they are all hens! Not sure if the breeds either besides the barred rocks. Any help would be appreciated!

All look like pullets, The first one definitely is a barred rock, Second one looks like a Delaware or a light sussex, Third one i'm not too sure on.. Maybe an Austra white? Forth is a golden laced wyandotte and the last one looks like a cuckoo maran
 
How old are they? :) Your Barred Rock is confusing me a little, because the barring isn't terribly light, but that's quite the comb!
Not sure about breed on #2...what's Columbian, clean-legged, and pea combed? Pullet, though, on gender.
#3. Will let someone else identify breed on this one. Also pullet.
#4. Golden Laced Wyandotte pullet.
#5. What color are the bottoms of the feet? Looks like a Cuckoo Marans to me. Pullet!

They are about 8 weeks I was told. They said the last black one was a barred rock although it has feathers down against its legs. The white one they said was a aracuana?
 
yep, that's a maran
Where did you get your chicks? I hate to say but I doubt the white one is an ameraucana. They usually come with a term related to color; a black or lavender or wheaten etc... Also, the white has yellow legs. Ameraucana have slate legs. Otherwise, agree with above.
 
8 weeks, eh? I'd lean towards cockerel for the Barred Rock, but the dark plumage is really throwing me off. Hope someone else will chime in with their opinion. :)

Last chick is definitely a Cuckoo Marans, which would explain her feathered legs. :D

You don't have an Araucana, unfortunately. I'd have to agree with @MillersFarm , closest fitting breed appears to be Austra White.

Thanks for the help. I'm not too worried about it but just going by what she said. She said it will get a sorta feather beard and blue eggs but time will tell:)
 
Barred Rock Cockerel
Deleware Pullet
California White Pullet
Blue Laced Red Wyandotte (Gold Laced shouldn't have that blue underbody, plus the lacing has some blue in it.)
Olive Egger or Cuckoo Maran. (reason I would say OE is, I think I may see muffs on this bird? Could ou get a face pic?)
