Unsure of breeds.

Any other ideas from anyone? Went to where I bought them today and they have lots of other breeds now and the only one that looks like what I have is black australorp.. But the chicks at the store are about a day or two old an mine were older than that when I got them so I don't know if that's what mine looked like or not. Any other ideas about the first four in my second set of pictures?
 
Black Australorp for sure on the black ones. Is the silver/black one smaller than the rest? Could be Sebright but the pattern on the feathers is odd.

Thanks so much and well.. Not really. Of the black australorps, as you're saying they are, it's in the middle.. Some of the black ones are bigger and a couple are smaller. I really hope it's a sebright though, they're beautiful!
 
Wait...the black ones don't have dark legs, do they? Do they have any dark on them at all? If it is a Silver Sebright and they are standard Australorps, the Sebright will be TINY compared to them. The black ones look too big to be bantams.Are these birds originally from a larger hatchery?

These chicks are from Ideal Poultry which has bantams and pretty much any other kinds of chickens and poultry.
Here's the black one's legs-




And a pic of it with it's wing extended a little.






3 blurry pics of the "sebright" ..my camera is messing up and takes blurry pics all the time now...
 
Those could certainly be Australorp legs. The second chick is much more white than any Sebrights I have seen.
 
I'm thinking the black ones are australorps too and well darn.. I guess I'll have to let it grow up and see! It sure is pretty though!
 
It is a gorgeous chick for certain. Personally, I would look up what Ideal has to offer(I know they have a big selection) and google baby pics of each breed that seems to resemble your little one. Then again, that is why I love mystery chicks...i love sleuthing and trying to ID them! The leg color and general appearance correlates with a silver sebright, but the feathers are just so white. Maybe a high-white sebright. lol
