The chicks are now 6 and 7 weeks old. Lets see how we do this time in IDing them. I would appreciate any help you can give. I need to know so will know whether to get them a roo to accompany them. I am new but learning. They got to go outside for the first time today.

This one I really have no idea!!

This one was never really decided. This one is also the smallest of the 80 birds, so expect it is one of the smaller standard variety.

The chick in the third pic is a light brahma. I don't know about the others, but I'm wondering if you might have a roo (chick in the first & second pics).
 
Yes, I am like you with the light brahma. Pretty sure that one is correct. The top ones should not be roosters since I have 4 of them that came with the rainbow layer assortment. I also know how mistakes are made. Thanks for the reply.
 
Don't you also get an opposite of a light Brahma - I suppose it would be a dark Brahma! Dark body with light collar - Pics 4 and 6? Just a thought but I know diddley squat about other breeds so am going to get back into my hole ...

#1 is either a welsummer or a light brown leghorn. Earlobe color will tell you for sure. Welsummer will have a red earlobe, and a leghorn will have a white one. If it's a leghorn, it's definitely a pullet. A cockerel would have a very large comb by that age.

#2 is a light brahma.

#3 looks like a golden-laced wyandotte.

#4 looks like a silver-laced wyandotte.

#5 looks like a silver-spangled hamburg.
 
The first one is colored a lot like my EEs, and the third pick is without a doubt a light brahma. Mine look just like that just mini size.

It's colored like some EEs, but its legs are yellow, it has a single comb, and it has no muffs/beard. Therefore, a welsummer or brown leghorn.
