Here are some pics - shout out what you know. I'm having trouble with the chipmunk stripes and the massive number of black ones and yellow/white ones. Any tips on telling them apart is appreciated :)



































 
I can't tell in these photos. Do any have feathers on their legs? Any with a 5th toe? Also are there any with a muff? Good luck with your new chicks.
 
From your pictures I can spot: Blue Laced Red Wyandottes, Silver Laced Wyandottes, Buff Brahmas, Partridge Rock, Rhode Island Reds, Naked Necks, White Cochins.
Possibilities: Black Australorp, Sex Link, Barred Rocks, Blue Orpingtons, Blue Andalusians, Appenzeller Spitzhauben,Black Jersey Giants, Welsummers, and Brown Lehorns.
They are still chicks, and some of the breeds are so similar that you can't be completely sure until they are a bit older. :)

The black chicks with white spots on their head could be Black Sex Link roos. If they start feathering out with a barred black and white pattern like a Barred Rock but with a bit of red flecking then they are for sure Black Sex Link roos. If any of them have a chipmunk pattern with puffy cheeks, pea comb and greenish brown legs they could be Easter Eggers. Not all Easter Eggers will look this way but the chipmunk pattern is common. The chipmunk pattern is also common for Dark Cornish. They should have a chipmunk pattern, pea comb and yellow legs. The reddish yellow ones could be Red Sex Links..all female. The all yellows could be Red Sex Link roos which will feather out all white, sometimes with some red and black feathering. But the all yellows could also be any breed of white chicken..roo or pullet..lol. The rest, I couldn't tell you unless you can get closer up pictures of individual birds.

Looks like you bought the Forrest Gump box of chocolates assortment. lol! Your best bet is to wait another 6 to 8 weeks and take new pictures of them and post them. We'll be able to tell breed and sometimes sex much better the older they are.

These are the assumed "meaties"

Green legs and a beard:

Silver duckwing Leghorn


Silver Laced Wyandotte


RIR or Buckeye, depends on the type of comb.

This one has green legs too:
Probably EE due to green legs

green feet:
I was going to say BLRW, but since she has greenish feet I'm leaning towards EE


RIR or Buckeye, if she has a single comb then it's a RIR, if it's a pea comb then Buckeye.

Green legs and a beard:


All white/yellow with a few black dots on the back:
I was thinking Light Sussex, but it's hard to be sure.

RIR or Buckeye

Black Cochin

White Cochin

Red Cochin

Partridge Rock

Silver Duckwing Leghorn

Buff Brahma or Mille Fleur d'Uccle

Welsummer or Dorking, these breeds are hard to tell apart as chicks,but are are easier to identify when they are older.
