McMurray Rare Breed Assortment, bantams, EE - help

[equus419]

We purchased an assortment of EE, Bantam and "McMurray Rare Breed Assortment". I think I have some figured out, but others I have no clue - and I have no clue as to gender.. thanks! First set of pics:

Pic 1 = 1/3 of the flock

Pic 2 = D'uccles? Mille Fleur?

Pic 3= clean legged bantam, looks like a sparrow??

Pic 4 = same chick

next set of pics:

Pic 5 = ?white faced black spanish?

Pic 6 = bantam, ??

Pic 7 = we have a couple of these, ?Buttercups?

Pic 8 = same type as 7

Pic 9 = complete unknown, was in the rare breed assort, but after about 2 weeks, he is the same size as the other bantams, his (?) shanks & beak are black, but feet are light colored; also bird on the right, a dominique?

another pic of the same

Pic 11 - cute little reddish headed dark bantams

thanks in advance!

Did you get Rare Breed Special or Rarest of the Rare Assortment? I am very interested in seeing how this turns out, I have been toying with the idea of getting a special but i don't want to get like 25 roosters of the same kind of something like that, if its in pairs then its reasonable, but if its uneven pairs, some roosters of some kind hens of another, then it would be a big mess.

Buttercups have a pretty obviously different kind of comb- can you get a better shot of the suspected Buttercup comb, or can you see if it looks kind of like a double that tapers together at front AND back?

Which pics are of birds with feathered feet? Any? That will help eliminate some.

Pic #7 sure looks like one of my EEs.

The only thing I've learned is that when you make a loud noise the cockerels stand tall and the hens squat low.....

I bought a 'split' of the McMurray Rare (not rarest) Assortment. I am not good at determining sex in little chicks but I doubt there is an "equal" split - looking at McMurray's website, there are some breeds that ONLY males are available so I am guessing I probably have quite a few roos. I wanted some 'assured' pullets so also split some "aracaunas" pullets (easter eggers) and I think even some of those might be roos!
