Got these a few days ago. Not sure what breeds they may be.

I couldn’t tell you the breeds because often times they have such little characteristics of the adults that there are so many possible breeds. If I recall correctly though, on tractor supplies website there is a list of all the breeds they ship in from Hoover’s hatchery

https://hoovershatchery.com/HatcheryChoiceBantams.html
Here’s the list from the hatchery we site of all of their bantams


Barred Old English, BB Red Old English, Black Tail White Japanese, Blue Old English, Buff Brahma, Black Cochin, Buff Cochin, Partridge Cochin, Crele Old English, Golden Sebright, Mille Fleur d'Uccle, Porcelain d'Uccle, Partridge Wyandotte, Red Cochin, Red Pyle Old English, Silver Sebright and/or Silkie
Hope this helps!!
 
Agree with above posts on being to early....except maybe number 3. My first thought was a buff Brahma for that one with those feathered legs. A lot of chicks down looks the same. Its when they start feathering in is when we are more eaaily able to tell what they are.
 
I’m not sure of the breeds but just wanted to say...you are going to have some beautiful chickens on your hands! 😍 Their coloring is so lovely! If you indeed have a Porcelain d’Uccle, I’m jelly! 😂 One day I will get one. 😜 Please make sure to update this once they’re bigger and breeds are definitely identifiable! ☺️
 
I think chick #3 might be a Cochin bantam and not a porcelain d'uccle. No feathered cheeks and a smooth coat. We have a porcelain d'uccle that's about 6 months old & she looked different. The self blue looks like rose comb? And some feathered cheeks, maybe. Here is the self blue.

does the self blue one have a single comb? feathered cheeks?
 
The self blue might be a d'Anver. The porcelain d'Uccle just doesn't have fluffy cheeks which is common with hatchery birds. Some call them booted bantams because of this. Hatcheries don't carry cochins in porcelain colour and cochins have yellow feet.
