I can get 2 more chicks and then my coop is full! These are the breeds the feed store is getting on friday that I am interested in. They all come from Privett hatchery. Help me decide because I can't! What 2 chicks would you get?

Cuckoo Maran
Speckled Sussex
Blue laced red Wyandotte
Russian Orloff

I do love the Russian orloff... Privett hatchery says their eggs are tinted. Does anyone know if this is true?
Would a hatchery maran still have very dark eggs?

speckled sussex-sweeties
cuckoo marans-egg color

i have hatchery marns and the eggs are darker than any of the others you have listed so if you want a color variety.the 3 others will all lay around the same color egg.
my cuckoos are a nice dark color.
the darkest eggs are the cuckoos
