I just ordered place my order into Murray Mcmurray and ordered some Polish, partridge Cochins, salmon faverolles and a couple others! Has anyone had experience with those breeds or Murray Mcmurray?

For future reference, the appropriate place to post this would be in the "Chicken Breeders and Hatcheries" forum on your own new thread. MMH has decent Partidge Cochins, very sweet and hardy birds. The body type on those is actually decent compared to most MMH stock. I can't speak to the other breeds you mentioned though.

They are too young to tell for sure but my guesses would be:

Pic #1. Cockerel far left and far back right.

Pic #2: Cockerel right

Pic #3: Cockerel upper middle and potential cockerel far right

Pic #4: No visible birds screaming cockerel

Pic #5: Center Blue/Lavender chick cockerel

Pic #6: No visible birds screaming cockerel

Hello and Welcome to Backyard Chickens!

I think keeping chickens and having a small vegetable garden is doable with limited mobility. You would need to be a little creative, but the folks here on BYC would be glad to help with ideas.
