I'm not great at this but the one with thestripe down the back looks like a brown leghorn to me and the darker red looks like a rhode island red lets see what someone else says

I was supposed to get five different breeds from this list: Ameracauna; Buff Orpington; Rhode Island Red; Silver Laced Wyandotte; White Plymouth Rock; Black Australorp; Barred Plymouth Rock. I was hoping to get at least one Buff Orpington and one Black Australorp. One may be the Orpington but I don't think that I got an Australorp.
 
ok that helps!! I thoght the black was an astrolorp?/ haha I'll tyr to find the others. The orangey colored one with the white feathers coming in might be the white plymoth rock.

OOOOO! The black one is a barred plymoth rock!! They have the white dot, astrolorps have some yellow and no dot!
 
Your black chick with the white dot is a Barred Plymouth Rock. The chick on the left in the third picture is RIR. If they were only breeds from that list, then the chick with the dark brown stripe down its back would most likely be EE since I've heard that you can only get true Ameraucana's from a breeder. Your other chicks don't look like White Plymouth Rocks because ours were patternless, yellow chicks. Maybe they are BO? I hope this helps! Your chicks are adorable!

I didn't really know what I was doing when I posted the photos. I should have explained that I purchased 2 special orders of 5 chicks each for a total of 10 chicks. The 5-chick special guaranteed five different breeds from the list. Even though I don't know breeds, I can recognize that they sent two of each breed. I thought by ordering two special orders that they would send one of each of the seven in their list.........but NOoooo. Wrong again. There are two smaller chicks that are lighter yellow than the two in the photos and I'm guessing they are the white plymouth rocks.

They are ADORABLE!

Here is my guess (in the order the chicks are standing in the pics):

Pic #1) Buff Orpington or White Plymouth Rock , Rhode Island Red, Buff Orpington or White Plymouth Rock
Pic #2) Ameracauna, Barred Plymouth Rock
Pic #3) Rhode Island Red, Ameracauna
Pic #4) Barred Plynouth Rock
Pic #5) Rhode Island Red


Notice I could only pick out four breeds from your list so one of the chicks is likely to not be what I guessed it was

Oh well, guess you'll find out when they start to feather out

1st pic; the ones with the white wings are probably Red sexlinks (Orpingtons aren't as red, white rocks don't have any red at all), brown wings are rhode Island reds. in the back there is a barred rock (white spots on head)

2nd pic; I highly doubt that is an Easter Egger. Pattern is too perfect, legs are light in color, and the chick has no beard what so ever. I'm guessing it's a speckled sussex due to the darkness of the stripes. The dark one is again, a barred rock

3rd pic; Rhode Island Red and that sussex again

4th pic; Barred Rock

5th pic; Rhode Island Red
