Hello all!

I ordered a batch of 15 chickens to replace a few after something attacked my coop. They arrived today happy and healthy, but I am not sure what kind I received!

Here is what the hatchery said:

"Likely that you will get, 5 Ameraucanas, 5 white layers and 5 brown layers. Of those you could get Cali White, White or Brown Leghorns, Orpingtons, Rhode Islands, ISA browns, Wyandottes etc. Will be a mixed bag!"

Would anybody mind looking at some photos and take a guess at what I got?

Thanks!

Could you get some side view pictures of them? I think I may see a Welsummer, Silver Laced Wyandotte, possibly Brown Leghorn, and a Black Australorp.

Here are some more. Unfortunately they aren't great side pictures and I am no longer by them. I appreciate your help though!

Welcome! Sorry for your losses, and I hope the coop situation si now fixed.
Cute chicks!!!
Look at the 'feathersite' for ideas about your chick's breeds. That site has great photos of many chicks, and when you match the breeds your hatchery sells, it should help ID these babies. Mary
 
Thanks Mary.

The coop is now fortified to what I'm calling comical degree, so hopefully no more attacks at night.

Thank you for the link! There are a few pictures on that site that appear to be conflicting, but I think I have a general idea.
