My neighbor gave us two roosters that just started crowing about a month ago. They seem to get along as long as they keep away from each other. I have about a dozen RIR's that they're hanging out with. Can you tell me what kind these roosters are?

Also, I ordered about 20 EE's and one came out a rooster. I'm thinking that I need to get rid of my other two roosters because they will fight with the EE rooster.

In the long run, I'd like to keep the EE rooster to get EE chicks. What will come out if the EE rooster mates with the RIR hens?

 
Hello,
Normally it will look more like one or the parents then the other one...
But then you would have some that looked like EE and some that looked more like RIRs.
Or at least that is what I have seen. Maybe someone else will be able to give you more information!
 
that appears to be a game rooster, they can be very aggressive toward others. EE roosters are always being picked on, they seem to never be top rooster, so the EE could be in trouble.

your crossing depends on the EE's color, but some of the eggs from the offspring should be "olive" in color. the offspring will likely be mostly red if the rooster doesn't have a silver gene (white).
 
My guess is a game rooster as well. They are used in Puerto Rico for fighting. Breed for aggression towards other birds not against people.
 
Your rooster doesn't look like an Easter Egger Rooster to me. Instead, he appears to be some sort of game bird, like Old English Game. I'm not sure what a Rhode island Red/gamebird cross would look like, but if he mated with Easter Eggers, the offspring would probably look a lot like an Easter Egger.
 
Thanks for the info. I've decided to get rid of the two 'game roosters' and keep the EE rooster. Can I sell the two game roosters? For how much? Or should I just give them away?
