Several appear that they could be Black Sumatra, here you decide:

Cute, colorful assortment! 1 and 8 look like white-crested black polish, and 10 looks just like my swedish flower hen did when she was a chick (though there's a ton of variability with SFH). I see lots of puffy cheeks too = easter eggers or ameraucanas (if Meyer offers purebred AMs). I noticed that lots of them are banded - here's Meyer's leg band guide, which should be helpful:

(Also, you probably already know this but just in case not, those bands should be removed soon or they will constrict the chicks' legs as they grow.)

@HappyClucker7 they're uploaded now. I hit submit before I added them.

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED

1- white crested polish
2 - maybe a buff orpington
3- maybe golden cuckoo maran?
4- not sure but it's a real cutie! I'd guess EE because their ameraucana's have legbands
5- Lavender Orpington
6- welsummer or light brown leghorn (if it's really teeny it's leghorn)
7- not sure
8- white crested polish
9- cochin I think but could be an olive egger because they use Maran parentage
10- Dark cornish?? not sure
11 - welsummer or light brown leghorn (if it's really teeny it's leghorn)
12- buff brahma
13 - not sure
14- white leghorn

21 - Golden Cuckoo Marans
22 - white leghorn
23 - maran
24 - Jubilee Orpington
25 - buff laced polish
26 - no idea maybe barred plymouth rock or golden cuckoo maran
27- same as 24 if it has an orange leg band (can't see the other foot)
28 - Partridge Cochin
29 - Partridge Cochin
30 - Exchequer Leghorn

I used their chick ID tool (which is NOT comprehensive): https://meyerhatchery.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360009871752-Day-Old-Chick-Identification

and their leg band ID page: https://meyerhatchery.zendesk.com/h...and-Identification-on-Hard-To-ID-Chick-Breeds

That looks like a great assortment. We did the same thing a few months ago from Meyer and have been very pleased.

I defer to humblehillsfarm on breeds. It took us about 6 weeks to decipher all of ours. 13 may be a buckeye but the entire body is usually more orange.

The legbands definitely help. I'm quite jealous of the White Legbar. Would love to have one.

Best of luck with the babies!
