These are 7 week old chicks. We know that the big one in the back is a female Americana, and the three little ones are some kind of bantams. We think we found the breed of the orange one, but the two black ones remain mysteries.

The one on the far left is most likely a Silver Duckwing OEGB cockerel (see my profile picture for the adult version.) The (cockerel) rosecomb in front and the buff to the side need standing side pictures. Is the buff a peacomb? Do either of them have feathered legs?

Yes, the orange one has feathered legs. I don't really know what a peacomb is, but if it's a female comb I think it does
 
A peacomb is flat to the head at first (it looks like no comb) and develops into this (not my picture):

I'd guess the yellow is a buff Cochin, if she has a normal comb. The middle might be a badly laced or a very young Sebright?
 
I agree. :eek: Still handsome birds.I


Any feathers on the legs?
What color are the legs?
Can you post pics of them standing and in good natural lighting?
They're are feathers on the orange ones legs. The one on the left I think had light legs, but I can look again later and try to get another picture
