Hi everyone! I’m a new chicken parent, we’re in a position to have chickens so I allowed my significant other to pick out four chicks from Rural King. That being said, none of them had any information on what they were and he chose four different kinds. Please let me know if better pictures are in order, thank you in advance!

Here is the first larger grey chick.

And then one of them all together.

I suspect you received a rare breeds assortment of some sort. Your dark chick is a Chocolate Orpington... Hoover is notorious for sending some questionable chicks but assuming they sent rare breeds by their definition, the buff one might be a Buff Chantecler. Can you get a comb picture? Can you also get pictures of the foot bottoms of the blue ones?
 
Third chick could be a blue Orpington. Mine have always been bigger and looks similar! The yellow one could be a buff Orpington… not sure.
 
I can get some foot photos tomorrow for sure. As far as the combs… I just see feathers? But I will also get some head shots. Thanks so far!
 
I still have yet to take photos, but I did go back to the store and read the SKU descriptions to get an idea. I’m not sure how accurate they are but they said Cornish broiler, black sex link, Plymouth barred, sapphire gems and Easter eggers. I promise I will get more photos though!

The almost black ones. Seem like a Blue Andalusian, and the yellow one seems like Buff Orpington. For the other one, she/he might be a cross. I'm not sure what cross, maybe a EE cross?
 
I hope little yellow is something other than a Cornish cross… from what I’ve read they lead short, uncomfortable lives. If he/she does end up to be that way I will do everything I can to ensure it has the best quality of life possible.
