Kale Seedlings

I sowed just 6 kale seeds in a tray and I now have 13 seedlings because there were some other seeds in the compost I got from my local GC
I have looked on the interweb as we call it in Bristol and still cant seem to be able to identify a kale seedling so I can then plant out ONLY the kales
Help please 
Everyone is just trying to be Happy.....So lets help Them.

If they're big enough to plant put someone will be able to ID them from a photo.

I dont have a camera to upload ...sorry
Have you tried googling kale seedlings and looking at images

Just googled, there are loads of images.
Just had a thought....do kale seeds produce more than one seedling ?
If they do that may explain why I have 13 seedlings from 6 seeds
One seed, one plant is the best offer
how many different seedlings have you got?
My maximum is 3 right now

Just potted them all up and there is a small difference in the leaf shape between 6 of the 13 so that may give me a clue to what is growing
There were obviously seeds in the bag of compost I got from the GC
Its very exciting waiting to see what comes from the other 7
One seedling which I believe to be the kale has a leaf shaped like a stinging nettle whilst the other imposters are shaped more rounded
Thanks Edd
Your first one looks more like them
I took pots with what I think is kale and also the intruder back to the GC that I got the compost from
They think the odd ones MAY be radish
Its getting almost to exciting to bear !!
