What breeds are these??

RHODE ISLAND RED Females
COLUMBIAN WYANDOTTE Females
DELAWARE Females
BLUE ANDALUSIANS Females
SILVER LEGHORN Females
SILVER LACED WYANDOTTE Females
PARTRIDGE ROCK Females
BUFF MINORCA Females
WHITE GIANTS Females
DOMINIQUES Females
BARRED ROCK Females
ARAUCANA/AMERAUCANA Females
BUFF ORPINGTONS Females
CUCKOO MARAN Females
RED LEGHORNS Females
Welsummer St. Run

This is what was ordered from murray mcmurray in early march

This list of breeds is consistent with Rhodebar Lover's (and ours) identifications. In case you're not aware Murray McMurray's Araucana/Ameraucanas are neither true Araucanas nor true Ameraucanas which are both true (but expensive) breeds, but are in fact Easter Eggers, which are hybrids produced by crossing blue egg layers with brown egg layers to produce eggs in colors other than just blue (olive, green, beige, pale pink, etc.). Hatcheries and feed stores frequently and incorrectly market their EEs under the labels Araucana or Ameraucana. There is a good article at http://www.the-chicken-chick.com/2011/09/ameraucana-easter-egger-or-araucana.html on the difference between true Araucanas, true Ameraucanas, and Easter Eggers.

1a. Is possibly a silver Leghorn pullet, maybe not though, lighting is bad.
2a. Is probably Dominique
3a. Rhode island red
4a. Cream legbar
5a. Splash Andalusian or EE
6a. Probably a mix breed
 
Here's my take on these breeds:

1a. Red Leghorn
2a. Dominique (Barred Rocks have single combs, not rose combs)
3a. Rhode island red
4a. Cream Legbar
5a. Easter Egger (greenish legs and pea comb are a dead giveaway)
6a. Black Copper Marans
 
Could 5 be a blue isbar? That's what she is supposed to be

Yes, definitely since blue breeds do produce some black and some splash offspring in addition to blue offspring. If she was suppose to be a Blue Isbar, she's likely the splash offspring of two Blue Isbars.
