Been using this awesome site for research on raising chickens for nearly 10mos.
I got my 14 little darlings on May 2 and now 5 months later am eagerly waiting for my first egg to appear in the egg box!!! Still haven’t decided what to do with the 2 roosters that magically appeared in my order of 12 hens but so far they have not been too much of a Problem.

I agree with @sourland

Roosters can be great! If you have the space and don't mind them especially if you plan to free range. Watch out for their hormones they could gang up on the pullets and cause trouble.

Are your two boys EE? We have a few EE boys that I really like.

You may want to consider just keeping one cockeral especially if you don't plan to free range or add any more girls.

Keep and eye on them and if neither of them become people aggressive o would keep the one that's better to your ladies. Calling them for feed, sharing feed, not grabbing them, also watch for dancing. You want a boy that's good with the ladies lol
