Wasn’t able to get photos last night, we had a storm blow in and I didn’t have my phone with me. As soon as it it calms down today though I will get closer pictures.

Finally a break! The birds are out in the scrap yard with all the wood. My red fellow is a hard one to get close to.
 
Not sure if I’m operating this post correctly but definitely a match I would say with these Roos.

I looked that up earlier. Im still thinking Bielefelders.
Here is a hen from same order and some of her offspring from one of the roosters. These hatched Oct. 3rd
I'm not a breeder of bielefelders, but I do know some things about genetics. Bielefelders are barred gold duckwing. I say your roosters aren't bielefelders because they have red where they should have black. In your picture, the two roos in the back could be bielefelders, just with some red leakage. However, the one in the front is either bad quality or a rhodebar. The pictured hen is definitely a bielefelder, and a pretty one too.
Here's a gold duckwing rooster without barring:

Your rooster has red instead of black on his wings, chest, and legs. This makes me think he's actually barred red columbian (RIRs are red columbian), which is the coloration of rhodebars.
I'm not saying all your chickens are rhodebars, but there might have been a couple of rhodebar chicks that got mixed in.

They do look like mixes. The red one could be an RIR mix. I doubt he's a rhodebar or bielefelder because his barring isn't that neat and his tail angle is wrong. I'm still not sure about the black and white one.
