I don't know the breed - yellow with bits of brown. They were hatched
as Rhode Island Reds but maybe really are buff orpington or mix of the
two.

They've been completely free range - silly things would not come into
the barn all summer. I got 10 chicks from a friend who is a kinder garden
teacher. I kept them in the barn 'til they were large enough to browse
the property. All other chicks I've had came in at night. These guys
stayed out later and later until the stopped coming in. All but these two
were eaten by predators. (They roosted in trees 'til they lost their
siblings and then roosted in my flower pots on the deck).
