I have a few chicks that Hatched and I’m not sure what breeds they are. I got the eggs from a neighbor and she didn’t tell me what breeds she had.

First and sixth picture is 11 days
Second picture is 9 days ,I’m assuming this is an Austrolorp
Third and fifth picture is 10 days old
Fourth picture is 12 days old
Seventh and eighth pictures is 10 days old

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

It would help most if we knew what types your neighbor had. And if they're in separate breeding pens, or open breeding.
The thing is, chicks can look like many different breeds until they feather out. Give it some time, get some info on your neighbor's breeds and go from there.

Before I got the eggs I had asked her what she had and she said Sussex , but she said she also had ones who laid blue and green eggs lol. I know she had more then 50 laying hens so I figured she just didn’t want to list all the breeds.
 
I got some better pictures today

I got some more pictures today. They are now 2.5-3 weeks old.
I think the 3rd one is a brown leghorn but not sure. The white chick has been getting in some lavender feathers if that means anything

Unless her birds are separated by breed into breeding pens chances are the chicks are all going to be mixed. It is possible some of the chicks could be pure Australorp for example if she has an Australorp rooster covering the whole flock. But if she has eight or nine different breeds of rooster over a dozen different breeds of hens your chances are much slimmer.

Yeah I am almost positive hers were not separated. I figured they were probably mixed. Well I guess I’ll just try and guess after they are feathered. Thank you!
 
I took some updated pictures of the babies. They are now 5 weeks old. Any ideas?



I think these two might be Swedish flower hens or Swedish flower hen mixes

This one I think is a speckled Sussex mix. Almost positive it’s a pullet

I have no idea what this one is. Maybe a blue laced red Wyandotte?

This one I thought was a white leghorn but she has been getting in lavender feathers here and there. So not sure
