Do we know what RL birds EA based their 3 chicken on?
I know a white Italian bird called Leghorn is among the most used in the world, so I assume the white one might be Leghorn.
But the brown - is it a version of the Rhode Island Red?
The black, is it based on Australorp?
I had to google the subject as I had no knowledge on chicken, basically I found thee are a lot more species/races than I could dream of.
Why bother? Well, I'd hate my sim focusing on egg production, but using a bird that is intended for meat production
I'd also love to find out whether certain birds like cold/heat better, but I realize that most races might not actually have a natural preference as they are not exactly kept as wild birds...

Here's a similar thread asking if EA based cows and llamas on RL races/species.

The brown looks like a Rhode Island Red or it could be a red Orpington. The white could also be a Orpington, they come in many colours. Orpingtons are kept for both meat and eggs, like RIR's.
I'll never forget the first time I had soup that had black chicken in it!
The only kinda chickens I know are:
I suppose I’m not much of a help here. 😇
I have Blue Jersey Giants, Dominiques, and Russian Orloves in my flock, as well as some random layer mixes which I got a red hybrid, two white leghorns, two blue andalusians, and more I haven't identified. It's a shame they didn't have anything ornamental like silkies or polish.
As for the evil chicken, I can believe it is based on the Ayam Cemani, but everything including the comb is black on them so the black chicken itself is just a normal chicken. As for the golden chicken, like the evil chicken, I am hesitant to say it even is based on a breed but there are some really pretty light buff colored chickens. One I really like the look of are the Salmon Faverolles.

I also had leghorns Brown & White (great layers) Ameraucana (blue eggs) , Polish, Silkie & a colourful mix of Bantams. Somebody laid pinkish coloured eggs as well but not sure which one. Memory fades unfortunately
