I am new to owning chickens but I love it! I have 5 hens and I built my own coop this past summer for them. The first two hens (Black Sex Link, I think) started laying late October and then my Easter Egger and the two Wheaten Marans started laying in Decemer. I am getting large light brown eggs, large dark brown eggs, and green eggs. I am having so much fun! Would love to increase my flock this coming spring so looking for some local possibilities because the shipping costs are outrageous. If any one knows what I really have in my flock, please chime in!

Nice healthy looking birds - glad that you are enjoying them. EE, black sex link - not certain about the two red birds. I do not think they are marans - do they lay extremely dark colored eggs ?
 
Hello, welcome to BYC! Glad you joined our flock! The first picture, i'm pretty sure you have an Easter Egger, (EE) or amerucana. 2nd is a black sex link, and chicken in the back, maybe a red sex link?

Welcome!

Sorry, I am not good at breed types. Your flock is very beautiful though.

I hope you enjoy BYC. There are lots of friendly and very helpful folks here so not only is it overflowing with useful information it is also a great place to make friends and have some fun. Unlike non chicken loving friends, family and colleagues, BYC’ers never tire of stories or pictures that feature our feathered and non feathered friends

The eggs are not super dark, but they are a darker brown the the sex linked eggs. They were hatched at the local elementary school and given to me so they may be a mixed breed hen.
