**UPDATE: After caring for these chicks for 2 days, I lost a couple on Saturday. The rest of them were dead Sunday morning.

Help me take a stab at the breed and varieties of these 33 chicks (ordered 25) from Ideal's Rare Breed Special.
Those with flat combs, I just classified as pea combs. They could be rose combed breeds. Thanks for your help!
NOTE: I still missed taking pictures of a couple of them. I'll try to figure out which ones I missed.
1. These are obviously EE's, but just verify. Puffy cheeks, colored legs, pea combs.
2. Three of these - pea comb, longer light colored legs - Red Shoulder Yokohama?
3. Three of these - Buff Laced Polish, right? Or maybe Red Crested Reds?
4. One of these - Silver Laced Polish
5. Three of these - naked necks, pea combs. Could be Madagascar Games?
6. Two of these - pea combs, dark legs with white toes
7. One of these - single comb, black legs
8. Three of these. They may not be the same thing, but the lighter one had the same markings and general appearance as the other 2. Single combed. Could be Silver Penciled Egyptian Fayoumi?
9. Two striped chicks. One has bolder stripe that other and is a shade darker in color. Darker chick has peacomb; lighter chick has single comb.
10. Two of these - Dark bodies, yellow heads. Slate-y colored legs and single combs.
11. Two of these - Golden Laced Polish, or Gold Brabanter. They don't have that must of a topknot at this point. Only time will tell I guess.
12. One of these - dark red, single comb. RIR?
13. One of these - silver base with lots of reddish markings. Single comb, slate-y legs. Campine?
14. One of these - buff with pea comb. Buff Wyandotte?
