I just got 6 chicks yesterday. I know what each is supposed to be, but I'm not positive which one is which. I got a sapphire gem, lavender orpington, silver laced wyandotte, speckled sussex, barred rock, and cuckoo maran. The speckled sussex is the only one I am fairly definitive on, but I'm going to picture all of them. The sapphire gem and lavender orpington look very alike, while the silver laced wyandotte, barred rock, and cuckoo maran also have a lot of similarities with each other. If you are able to identify any, please use the picture number to let me know what the chick should be. Thank you for any help!

Thanks for the help! I was thinking the same as you Flockking, but I was not confident. I appreciate the assistance as I would have kept second guessing myself.

I lean towards #1 being the lavender orpington and #2 being the sapphire gem. If someone else can confirm or deny, I'd appreciate the insight!

do update as they age cus I may not be entirely right
 
My guess based on these pictures:
1- lavender orpington
2- sapphire gem
3- speckled Sussex
4- cuckoo marans (? I think the feet look more white than yellow)
5- silver laced wyandotte
6- barred rock (? based on yellow (?) feet...I'm terrible at telling what color legs are on tiny chicks)

The only ones I'm not sure about are the barred rock vs cuckoo marans, since both are clean legged.
 
I say:
1- lav orp
2- sapphire gem
3- SS
4-barred rock
5- wyandotte
6-cuckoo marans

On 4 and 6, others are correct that the marans should have whiter legs and the barred rock more yellow. But I'm guessing 6 is the marans based on how penguin-y it looks. The amount of white on the chest/belly looks like marans to me, while the darker one looks more barred rock.
