Thoughts on what breeds these are? Cochin, Brahma, RIR, PBR, B. Orpington?

I’m a complete newbie; starting out with 8 chicks, hatched 11/4/2019. I wanted a variety and thought it would be fun to figure out what they were from a couple of the Meyer’s assortments. I ordered 3 from the production pack, 2 from the rare assortment, 2 from the rainbow assortment and also received a surprise meal maker. Theses pics were taken of them at 4 weeks old. Here is what I think I have, but would love some confirmation or additional thoughts:
Pic 1: White Cochin
Pic 2: Creme Legbar - the only one that arrived marked
Pic 3: Brahma
Pic 4: Rhode Island Red
Pic 5: ????
Pic 6: P. Barred Rock (x2)
Pic 7: Buff Orpington

Looks like you got it all right... and #5 is a red sex link of some sort. Would you have called its baby down an orangy color? or yellow?

Great, thanks for feedback. She (#5) was more yellow. Here are pics at 1 week old. Pics #2 and 4 are of her I think. Pics #1 and 3 are of all 8 chicks huddled around “their” thermometer - they still love that thing and 4 weeks later, take turns sleeping next to it... Pics #5-6 are of a different chick (the Buff Orpington i think) but wanted to include in case I mixed up who is who on their baby pics...

Well, if the sex link was yellow, then it is male. In the below pic, the males are yellow, the females are the darker orangy ones.

You will like your assorted flock, all of those breeds are very good choices!
Way to go Meyers Hatchery!

Uh-oh, hope she’s not a he - I’m not sure how I would like crowing outside my bedroom window since that’s where their coop will be... She is changing everyday, for now I’ll keep guessing and will post updated pics in a week or so to see if “she” becomes more identifiable.

Well, you'll know for sure before too much longer, but sex link colors don't lie. Its a genetic impossibility.
For the record though, if you have your order number from Meyers, you can go online and find out exactly what they sent you.
and... for gee whiz..

The RSL (Meyers’ - Golden Buff), AKA “Pumpkin”, fortunately was female. She was the 1st (and only so far) to start laying 2 weeks ago. She has laid 14 eggs in 15 days, her 1st being a double yolk. Can’t wait for all the rest to start laying... Thanks for input and confirmation of hen breeds - really helped!!!!
