It is hard to tell any breed as chicks.. even productions, and then games are even worse having a lot of other games/colors crossed into them. give them time to mature, Though i can say they will be yellow legged and wheaten with a peacomb, most common strain like that (If it's a american, which it doesn't really look like a oriental to me) is a Sweater. But it could be anything really, the only way to truely know is ask the person who bred them.
 
me and uncle set down and looked at birds and he said they looked like spangled. how bad agressive are they. if the are bad i might have to get rid of them. because i have other chicks i don't want hurt.

The hens will not be aggressive, unless protecting their chicks. The roosters will not tolerate any competition at all. As long as the roosters you have submit and do not challenge the gamecocks they should be fine. Before separating my BRH roo for breeding he free ranged with BR, Silkie, and cornish bantam roosters. Only had a problem once and had to get him off a silkie roo. The silkie never challenged him again, I might add he was absent spurs at the time.

At this moment I have 5 month old Pumpkin cockerel that free ranges with the flock with no problems, the other roos usually only challenge him once and after that all is fine. You cannot free range more than one gamecock they will go at it until one is no longer. The game roosters are actually very friendly to people, and will jump to be held by their owner. I have never had any aggression towards me by gamefowl, other than a broody hen.

Roosters cannot be homed with other roosters, towards people though they are babies, usually.

Depending on wether or not hens are agressive depends on bloodlines.. Some are agressive enough they must be seperated like roosters, but this is not very common..
 
One thing everyone is leaving out, is it really depends on the gamey-ness of the strain. I have seen "game" that aren't gamey and there were several males that ran together. I have also heard the horror stories of having too many males free to get to close to one another. It all just depends on what breed/strain you have and what they are like.
