    How to identify different eggs?

    This is my first year in the "chicken world" and my chickens are laying eggs now. I have RIR, bar red rocks, red sex links, and buf orb.'s. I have had dark brown, tan, pinkish, and even double yokers. Can anyone help try to figure out who is laying what eggs?
