What breed or gender is this chicken?

Also, what age do they start laying eggs, and prob a dumb question how do i or what should I do to not have any babies since I have 2 males? They are all very close as they have been together since 8weeks and seem to be inseparable.

So the bad news is that two males is really too much for two hens. Honestly one male is too much for only two hens. They usually need more like 6-10 hens a piece to avoid over mating

As for fertilized eggs, if you don't want babies, just eat em. Store them at or below room temperature and you should be fine.

Oh gee. Okay so... do i separate them or are they fine together ? Is there not enough hens for them to mate or .. no we don’t want babies. So keep the fresh eggs in the fridge and they will be fine to eat?

It's more like they'll wear out your hens and you won't get eggs and they may lose too many feathers and get injured from too much sex.
As for the eggs you could wash and refrigerate them or just leave them on the counter. As long as your house isn't like 80-85+ farenheit you should be fine.

Oh boy. Okay! Well i definitely don’t want that. So I will need to figure something out with the males. Any idea on time length?

Awesome. The house stays around 73-75 degrees.

Oh. Well the boys will start wanting to mate about the time the girls start to lay eggs maybe a bit sooner. You'll see, they're pretty aggressive in the sack. I have a 17 week old that's already trying to pick out his favorite girls

More hens is always a good way to go. I mean you do need at least five or six more right? Lol
