Hi guys, I let my daughter pick 6 new chicks at TSC to replace some chickens we recently lost. I’m not sure they were accurately labeled though, just curious what you all think!

These 3 came from the straight run of Prairie Blue Eggers & i know they’re cross breeds so they might be right.

This was in a bin labeled Silver Laced Wyandotte pullets but I think she’s a Columbia wyandotte maybe?

And finally both of these were in the same bin labeled Wyandotte (blue laced) pullets…maybe the top one is a Wyandotte but i’m not so sure about the bottom one, any ideas?
Thanks for the input and I hope everyone is having nice spring weather!
 
1, 3 are gold laced Wyandottes

2 could be a Marans or olive egger or black sex link, among other possibilities. Australorp is the most common breed of black chickens, but the chicks usually have white on their faces and chests, so I think this one is something else.

4 yes, you're right. Colombian Wyandotte.

5 is maybe an Easter egger.

6 could be another Easter egger, but could also be a Welsumer or brown Leghorn.

Update on my chicks…i think the Columbian wyandotte is 4 weeks old and the others 3 weeks. The black and two dark brown chicks are supposed to be Prairie Bluebell Eggers and could be pullets or cockerels. The rest were all marked as pullets & the two other brown chicks were in the Wyandotte bin but i seriously do not think they were labeled correctly.

In the second set of photos, #1 looks like some sort of Egger, judging by the pea comb. Also looks like a cockerel. #s 2 and 6 are also Eggers, probably Easter Eggers. #s 3 and 4 are Gold-laced Wyandottes, and #5 is a Columbian Wyandotte.
 
My crazy little flock is now 4 & 5 weeks old, i might have 2 roosters? i guess we’ll find out in the next week or two, the black one is pretty calm but the speckled one is crazy so idk if i’ll keep him lol. Have a great day!

THe blue one in the 4th picture is a definite cockerel. He's an Easter egger of some sort.

The mostly black one in the 6th and 7th picture is also probably a cockerel. This looks like a Wyandotte.

The taller one in the last picture is might be a cockerel, but too early to say with that one. I would keep an eye on it. Hopefully it's a pullet. It is also some type of Easter egger.
