Welcome to BYC. It appears that you have a buff Orpington (large bird) and Cochin bantams.

Are they good egg layers, and is it ok to let them run around in my garden ?

Welcome to BYC. Glad you decided to join our flock. X2 on sourland; you have a Buff Orpington and some Cochin bantams. Your Buff Orpington will be a good layer of large brown eggs. Cochins are typically rather poor layers and with the bantam sized Cochins their eggs will be small to boot, however they are excellent brooders and mothers. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. We are here to help in any way we can. Good luck with your flock.

Welcome to BYC! We are glad to have you! I agree with these members up there, these hens are most likely Buffs and Cochin bantys! If you have any questions about anything at all, please feel free to message me!

agreed here too. Welcome to Backyard chickens. Both breeds are generally docile, lovely birds.
