Hello! Our family just recently bought a house that came with 7 chickens. We are clueless when it comes to identifying what type of chickens they are. I have attached a few pictures of them. We believe we have 2 roosters and 5 hens. We are first trying to identify their breeds. Then we are trying to determine if we should go down to only 1 rooster. Thanks to anyone that can assist!

Welcome to BYC, and congratulations on your new home and flock. Your hens look to be in great feather and condition. As long as they are not overmated (resulting in feather loss on backs) you can keep two roosters. Evaluate their temperaments and if problems arise eliminate the least desirable one. Good luck with your flock.

We just started getting eggs as the chickens are around 6 months old. We have gotten 3 brown eggs in the last 2 days!

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
Congratulations on the VERY lovely insta-flock!
Yes, you have two boys. They all look quite young. I believe they are pullets and cockerels.
You appear to have one Easter Egger cockerel and two EE pullets, one Silver Laced Wyandotte cockerel and one SLW pullet, one Buff Orpington (BO) and one Rhode Island Red (RIR).
