Thoughts on breeds?

Hatching

Thanks in advance for taking a look.

I ordered hatching eggs off of ebay at the end of January. (I know it's not ideal, but I couldn't connect with anyone locally.) They hatched the end of February, so that makes everyone just over 4 months old. The list of possible breeds was IMMENSE and they're likely mixed so I'm struggling a bit here. I will attach the info at the end.

This is Betty. She's extremely docile and got picked on because I haven't culled my extra roos yet. She's recovering from her injuries, hence the booboo cage.

No one else has names yet. This one is also quite pretty with a sort of beard?

This one seems to match up with a Swedish Flower Hen? Opinions appreciated.

These are the fluffy bros. The only thing on the list that seems to match up with is the EE Frizzles, but I'm not well versed in all the breeds so maybe something else?

These two seem to be the same. They had white spots on their heads as chicks if that makes a difference.

We got some pullets from TSC after the hatch to make up for the failures and I ended up with another roo from those. So, any random red chickens in the background are those guys.

Any help you can give with these kids will be appreciated. I know the easter/olive eggers are basically mutts, so I understand if that's what I've got here. Here's the ebay info:

Breeds currently on our farm and laying are:
Light Brahma
Frizzle EEs
White Cochin
Black Cochin
Buff Orpington
Lavender Orpington
Buff Chantecler
Splash Maran
Cuckoo Maran
Jersey Giant
Easter Egger
Olive Egger
Blue Sapphire
Swedish Flower Hen
Salmon Favorelle
Barred Rock
Dominique
Exchequer Leghorn
White Leghorn
Rhode Island Red
Golden Comet
Delaware
Barnyard mixes
Cream Legbar
Silver Laced Wyandotte
Australorp
Barnevelder

We also have pens of lavender and black orpingtons, buff Cochins, BLR Wyandottes and black copper Marans, which may be included if we have eggs available.

Easter egger, Easter egger, speckled sussex, and the last 3 cockerel look to be mixes. Hard to say exactly what type. The barred pullets looks to be a mix as well.
 
I think I can tell you a few of them, 6 and 7 are most likely barred rocks. 1 is most likely an Ameraucana. 2, im thinking is also an Ameraucana. 3 might be a speckled Sussex.


Im not sure about 4 and 5, but they are both roos along with 7.

Edit: oopsie I guess I was wrong, 1 and 2 are EE

So any of the Easter eggers could be olive eggers because they are technically the same thing. Just a hybrid that is bred for colored eggs so they look very similar

That looks more like a specked Sussex to me
