I bought the cackle surprise. I had gotten the chicks I wanted earlier this spring. And decided to do something fun. I'm happy with cackle. All chicks arrived alive and healthy. I also got two turkeys which appear to be BBW. And two ducks. Either rouen or mallard. They sent 38 chicks. A nice variety. Some I know, some I'm not sure. Any help would be welcomed. Hopefully everything shows up! I'm doing all this from my phone. :)

bit early to tell what they are even more so not knowing if they are bantams or not. rouens have 2 black strips on their faces and mallards have only one strip
 
I've been trying to match them with other chick pics from cackle and still having a hard time with a few. The 2nd and last pic, the chicks are definitely the smallest of them all.
 
some things that might help knock out some breeds is what type of comb do they have, what color are their legs, are there legs feathered?

Well this one has "normal" colored legs, clean, and looks like a single comb. My phone doesn't take the best pics. :( But my laptop is broke so it'll have to do.
 
You can eliminate certain breeds based on feathered legs, comb type, number of toes per foot, leg color, etc. I see some that look like Cochins.
