Sex-Links I think

Hi there- I'm fairly new to keeping chickens- I ordered chicks from Murray McMurray Hatchery and they arrived April 14th, 2023. I had 26, but unfortunately, one of the many people I live with left the barn door open one night, an animal got in and all but 3 of my birds were dead. The same day it happened, my in-laws rushed to the local feed store and brought me home 20 chicks, all of which are supposed to be good layers. I've had the new babies since mid May. My question is- Can anyone help me figure out the breeds of these birds? I have 5 all black with a little red speckled in the chest, 5 white with black spots and 10 red/white. Plus the 3 originals (Big Bird is all tan, Penguin is black and white barred I think and Hawk the Cock is the cockerel). I'm thinking I have red sex-links and black sex-links for some of them, but that's about as far as I've gotten by myself trying to figure it out. I appreciate any input! Thank you!

The black birds BSL and the barred bird is a barred rock pullet. The barred rooster is a BSL as well. Big bird is a buff Orpington and the white and red are a production red breed IE isa brown, cinnamon queen. Through the pictures I’ve scanned I only see the one BSL cockerel.

Thank you! I appreciate the reply!!! I have a better idea now of who my chickens are haha. Only ones left are the white with black splotches. We will figure it out in time, I'm sure. Thank you again for your response!

No problem. Im not too sure what the white ones are sorry couldn’t help there.
 
I agree with what the other posters have said, but I don’t think that’s a black sex-link cockerel. The feather pattern is wrong, and the comb looks wrong as well. The white ones could be California whites, Austra whites, or something similar.
