So I went to a backyard breeder and now I'm confused. Please help

I went to a backyard breeder today and purchased 10, 3/4 week old Pullets. I was told these 4 white ones are white Rocks, but they have Pink feet. Could they be Leghorns or something else? They are around 3 weeks old. I was also told the little black one was a Black Astralorp, but I feel that might also not be correct. Her legs are black, the bottoms of her feet are black and white. Her comb is black, but I know that can change as she gets older. She also has a little red/copper color appearing in her wings. I'm just so confused...lol

Definitely not an Australorp. Looks mixed. The white ones you will have to wait a bit yet. They are possibly mixed too.

3-4 weeks can be too young to accurately sex chicks unless they vent sexed them, which most people don't because it can cause damage if done incorrectly.

The black chicken isn't an australorp. It is a mix of some sort. Australorp will be all black and when they are little may have a white tip to the end of one of the primaries that should go away as they mature.

Your white chicks I'm unsure of. I know leghorns have yellow legs and thought rocks did too. Maybe someone else will chime in on that one.
