They are all girls in the picture. The Black Copper Marans are usually black, but the breeder that I bought her from occasionally has a brown chick, so I opted for brown, as I already have a black hen. The red girl is an Ohio Buckeye, and the other one is a Silver Laced Wyandotte. As I understand it, free range chickens have very dark to orange yolks. It's not a matter of breed that produces that, it's what you feed them. In the summer all my girls have always had orange yolks-- grass, weeds, bugs, etc. produce that. In the winter when they eat a lot of corn, oats, and manufactured feed their yolks are more yellow, but I also give them any table scraps I have, which helps their diet, which in turn helps their eggs.
