I ordered these adorable munchkins from Ideal Hatchery. You can see what bantams they carry at: http://www.idealpoultry.com/

This is a hatchery choice bantam special, and they didn't leave any sort of note as to what they sent, so I need help!
If you recognize a breed, please respond!

Let me have a look on the site, will be adding to my guesses. [?] means I am not entirely sure XD.

#1 Maybe an Easter Egger. One of the chicks they have in the illustration on their page about them looks like that.
#2 Barred Old English Game Bantam
#3 Mille Fleur d'Uccle
#4 Bantam Buff Orpington or Nankin
#5 Probably OEGB or EE
#6 Probably OEGB or EE
#7 Blue Cochin Bantam
#8 Possibly Blue OEGB
#9 Might be a RIR Bantam
#10 Possibly Blue OEGB
#11 Possibly Black OEGB
#12 Partridge[?] Cochin Bantam
#13 ?
#14 Black Silkie.
#15 Splash Cochin Bantam
#16 these white ones could be multiple breeds

I'm in the same boat as you! Only I got 52 of them this morning! Their site is a pain to navigate (you can't open each breed in a new tab, but must go back and reclick), and they only have drawings and not pictures.
 
I purchased 32, although now I'm wishing I had purchased more, because I didn't get a few varieties I was really hoping for.
Not a single dead one, and they're all thriving. But they would get extra points in my book if they would have included a sheet with a list of included breeds. That would have been soooo helpful, because then I could sell the ones I don't need without having to feed them for 6 weeks until I can tell what they are!

I've got an addiction. I al *this* close to ordering another shipment of the breeds I was hoping to get and didn't get. I need an intervention!
 
I've found Ideal to be very helpful when I've ordered from them. I bet if you email them these pictures, they'll tell you what they think they could be ;)
 
Thank you for the suggestions all of you.
I was really hoping for Japanese bantams and Cornish bantams, but I guess it doesn't look like I got lucky in that. I told my husband I was going to order another order so I could get those, and he looked at me wide-eyed and said "DON'T DO THAT." :/
 
#s 13 and 16 look just like my white Japs when they were chicks. They don't always come with super short legs, but those chicks' legs look a lot shorter when compared to your others (to me, at least) :)
