    Safe to eat? Photos included

    Hi guys! I cracked open some of my chicken’s eggs to make for breakfast today and noticed there were some red specs on all of the the yolks. Are these still safe to eat or should I toss them out? Thank you!

    What breed?

    How sure are you that the first two birds are meat birds? :) I wouldn't want to give them away and then turns out they were layers :/ As far as butchering them.. I don't know how to and I wouldn't want to either. Is the brown one a female? I'm not allowed to keep males because of how "noisy"...

    What breed?

    Can anyone tell me what breed the brown chicken is? I know the white one is a Leghorn.. the brown one is much smaller. They are both same age. Also, Any idea why the two chickens on the back do not have the red comb and wattles and the front chicken does? They are the same age.
