Out of this breed list, can you identify my chicks?

It's the chipmunky ones that really confuse us. And that smooth rust colored one ( well, two...wing of bird one, wing of bird two, and belly of the larger bird).
They could nearly be anything. The two thick striped one could be a RIR...that's what my last RIR chicks looked like. The really specked ones could be Sussex. Or Araucana/Ameracauna
 
I haven't seen them yet but your Araucanas, which I can safely say are actually Easter Eggers, will most likely have a chipmunk stripe pattern on their backs (it's a common pattern but they aren't always chipmunky patterned) and also should have puffy cheeks which eventually become a muff and beard. Their legs should be a dark greenish brown or slate gray color. Do you have any chicks fitting most of that description? If so, post some photos of them and we can tell you for sure if they are your Easter Eggers.

Thank you in advance, everyone, for the help. We have our own assumptions about breeds but we tried this last year and we were wrong. 50% of the time lol.

just regonized two more you have speckeled suesex and aconas lol sorry
 
Try making a list of each chick's characteristics - down color/pattern, comb type, and leg color. That may help us identify them. As they start to feather out it should get easier. :)
 
I'll get some pictures of their lil feets tomorrow afternoon when I do the pasty-butt shuffle. We just wanted blue or green eggs lol. We weren't picky.
Soon we also want an Olive Egger and one that lays the chocolate colored eggs.
And I want a broody next year to raise chicks from eggs. We have a really broody RIR but I don't think she will lay on eggs all the time. I could see her getting up and forgetting.
