Where did you get them? Can you tell when kinds of combs they have?

If you got them from a hatchery, the fuzzy-footed chicks are likely brahmas (pea comb) or cochin (single comb)

#1 could be an easter egger
#2... can't tell. something blue. what kind of comb?
#3 might be a lakenvelder
#4 looks like a brown leghorn
#5 and 6 look like either black australorps or jersey giant.

You're going to have a colorful flock!

I got then from Murray McMurray. I ordered the brown egg assortment and recived three free. In the morning ill look to see what kind of combs they have.
P.S. thank you so much. I would have never thought about looking at there combs.
 
My guesses are-

Nugget- Silver spangled hamburg (looks a lot like mine from MM last year)

4- Welsummer

5 and 6 - Australorp (bottom of feet pinkish white) or Jersey Giant (bottom of feet yellow)

I ordered the rainbow layer collection from them last year and the birds are great!

I know right, all of mine arrived alive and I have not lost one yet.
