These are hatched eggs from people my neighbor knows. I have no ideas what breeds are in their flocks, either.

#1 I'm thinking is a cockerel. He will be 4 weeks old on Monday. He hatched from a large, white egg.

#2-4 all hatched from solid light brown large eggs. They are all less than 24 hours old. #4 I think is has some sticky residue left over. None of them have any down or fuzziness on their feet.

Edit to add: #2 has brachydactyly on the right foot. The only things I can find about it in chickens is in relation to feather-footed breeds.

I can barely figure out what I hatched let alone what you hatched! #2 looks like a possible barred rock. #1 is male maybe white leghorn. It's realy to early to tell with any certanty though.

Do white leghorns have black spots? I can try to get a better photo of them. And post photos from his hatch.
 
Not typically and he might not be one that was just my best guess. Side view would help.
 
Just took these three. He is far too on the go for me to get a good one.

Leghorn, Minorca, Orpington, Plymouth Rock. Those are the APA recognized possibility. He might be something else though.
 
Those are all solid white. Orpingtons are a lot more fluffy than the others and lay light to dark brown eggs. Legorns and Minorcas are very similar and both lay white eggs. Plymouth Rocks lay brown so he's probably not one of those. Was his egg very light cream or more chalk white?

Grocery store egg white. I almost couldn't tell the difference when they were beside each other. That said, him being a mix isn't outside the realm of possibility.
