Garden/Squash question

Ok fellas, I have a squash question.  We have what we think is summer/yellow squash. But when in cut some toinight to cook, the skin was super thick and the seeds were more pumpkin/acorn squash like.  Am I picking them too late or too early?  Do i have a different squash?  Here are the picks.  The dark yellow ones have the extremely hard skin.  Help!

Too late, the skin should be paper thin and soft and a pale lemon in color. The one on the bush looks closer to right.

Ok thanks!  My wife will love being right!

They look like crookneck. Pick when they're in the 6-8” range and young and tender. Agree with waited too long.
