I have these 4 new 14 day old chicks and after researching pictures I’m at a loss to what they are. I got them from a local feed store and clearly the signs they had up were completely wrong on breeds as I looked them up after getting them home.
Best guess 1.Welsummer. 2 ? 3. ? 4.Black bantam silkie?

1 looks like my speckled Sussex, but there are many other breeds that look like that. 4 is a black silkie. 2 and 3 are Easter eggers, maybe, or saphirre gems?

I looked at sapphire gem chicks online and they looked different but they were older so I was waiting to see. 4 is so much smaller than the others that’s why I was thinking bantam.
 
The Wheaton color, Welsummer or Brown Leghorn, depending on the color of their earlobes. The grey chick with no leg featherings, could be an EE or Sapphire Gem or even Olive Egger. The last chick with feathering, as you stated was very small, could be a Silkie.
 
The first isn't wheaten which is a cream shade, looks e+ which is wild type/duckwing. Also looks to have a pea comb rather than a single comb so I'm going with EE on that one.
The second and third are hard to tell, knowing where they source their birds could help but as others mentioned, Sapphire Gem, Sapphire Olive egger etc.
Last one is a little black Silkie
