Dealing with more than one Rooster

Sorry but your chicks are Easter Eggers. Not true ameraucanas.
Ameraucanas have pea combs and slate legs.

Thank you... I forgot to inform you guys that some are brown leghorns. the difficult thing is we only have our buddies word. he claims his flock is made up of only true americuana's and brown legorns. he hatched the chicks out and brought them straight over. this is my first time growing a flock out that i didn't get at a feed store (where they were sexed and we knew exactly what we were getting) so i would definitely love you're advice or opinion. Here is two i'm positive are americuana, i feel like the guy on the right is possibly a roo (this is solely based off his personality so i have no idea). I'd love to hear if you think these two are americuanas also, and if you have a feeling one way or another as to roo or hen. the one i think is a roo i took all the extra pictures of.

Yes, I hear you, ACurtis, hard, but it becomes kinda fun once you are prepared for anything. Now if only I could get all four of my surplus olive egger cockerals and bachelors-to-be to get along well enough to house them all together. It was separate quarters for all until three days ago, when cockerals number one and three in the dominance order suddenly decided to become buddies and chase and pound on number two together the last time they were all outside and free to forage and enjoy some 'roosters only' time. They've been fine to pen together ever since, but I think poor number two has fallen to the number three position permanently...he's been pitifully sweet-talking and soliciting me and wanting to be held a lot since his fall, and he used to be the worst biter of the lot, too!

Anyhoo, just another example of how quickly roosters' attitudes towards one another can change, especially when they're still young hoodlums for the most part.
 
All the birds in the pictures you have posted are mixes. The first isn't a brown Leghorn (males have a black chest) and Ameraucanas do not have feathered legs.
