Your 2 hens are Brown Leghorns

Your Roo is most likely a mixed breed. He's not a BR.

Light brown leghorn hens.

Normally Leghorns tend to be more flighty, but they can be tamed down. They are good layers for the first few years, then production drops. They lay white eggs, and do better in confinement. (meaning they arent pacing the fence trying to get out).

You have 2 Light Brown Leghorns. Leghorns are great birds they’re friendly, sweet, and amazing layers of large white eggs.
I believe your cockerel may be a Cuckoo Marans or a mixed breed.

Brown Leghorn hens, and possibly a Cuckoo Marans rooster.

I absolutely love my Leghorns. So many breed descriptions claim they're incredibly flighty birds, but thus far, this isn't my experience at all. Cuddly, maybe not, but certainly not unfriendly.
