What breed are these please?

Been raising these since chicks. They are laying now. Looking for a good protective rooster or two? If needed.

Looks like 2 ISA Brown hens and a Delaware hen

Forgot to say that there are 36 chickens and 5 ducks in the run.

ISAs? To me that's a slot on old PC mother boards, lol

They are ISA Browns, stands for Institute de Selection Animale which is the company that bred this crossbreed for egg production. They are the result of a RIR rooster and a White Leghorn hen. They lay tons of eggs but as a result do not have very long lifespans, around 3 to 5 years
