Hi there! I'm posting partially to ask if anyone knows what breed(s) these little guys are, and also partially because I want to show off my babies

First off, this is a 1yr old hen my friend gave me. Her sisters (hatched by an EE mom in the same clutch) all laid blue eggs, but she lays light brown. I know she's a mutt, but any idea what's mixed in there?

The rest of the pictures are of my 1 week old straight-run assorted chicks from McMurray's. I ordered 25 of the "special assorted bargain" chicks, meaning whatever they had left after they filled the other orders. I know they're a bit young for IDing, but I thought I'd give it a shot!

This feather-legged little one must be my "free exotic chick" they threw in my order.

About half of the chicks they sent me look like this:

I had my husband attach a tiny roost to their brooder when they were only a couple of days old. I wasn't expecting anyone to get up there yet, and judging from the other chicks in the photo, they were also surprised! "How did you do that?!"

That was my first thought, after some research, but they're supposed to have 5 toes, right? This guy has 4. Although that could go along with the "bad quality" bit, if he's a mixed breed I suppose.
