New Chickens- breed and gender

You guys are all so helpful thank you! I will take some better pictures when I get home.

All the background that I was told about these guys is that they were all raised together. The hens was in with 10 roosters, the big guy I have was the said to be the head rooster. They were housed like that for a long time. She said the head rooster protected the hen and he respects her. The other rooster was said to have been hanging around with the family when they go outside, the reason she gave him to me as well. I do instend to get more hens though. She have me stuff for mites, antibiotics and destresser. She also mentioned the hen either lays green or carries the gene for green or eggs.
This is just what I was told, I do not know myself.
I can’t thank you guys enough for all this help! I’m so happy I found this forum :)
 
I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me learn a bit more about them?

I am not an expert, but this one looks like it has the feathers of a Silkie.
 
I think the Roo and hen are EEs, or mixed. The chicks are probably mixes of them.
The white roo is a silkie mix. Weird because he has silkie feathering, bit yellow legs, and hardly any leg feathers.
 
This is all so helpful!! And everyone here is so welcoming. :)

I was able to get some more pictures of them.

The hen, black rooster, and chicks are easter eggers or easter egger mixes, and the white rooster is a silkie mix. The black rooster could also have some marans in his background, making him an olive egger.
