Who is the BULLY???

There is one Rhode Island red, two tan, and five leg horn

Looks like your "tan" are Buff Orpingtons ... that would explain why "Mother Hen" likes to brood ... a good docile breed of chicken, but generally on the LARGE size of chickens, If my guess is correct (I looked at your barred rock thread picture) The leghorns, are on the small size as far as "Large Fowl" go (compared to bantams) You RIR is also a very large breed ...

They all need space to roost, they will prefer the highest place they can get too, and "pecking order" will "Rule the Roost" too (usually)

Do they have both levels of the coop to sleep in at night? do they sleep on the floor?

 

[Finny303]

They all sleep on the top. Window seat seems to be very popular.
I just took some pictures but can't figure out how to add them in here

Your Leghorns look more like White Rocks (to me) they seem very Large and "busty" to me. Leghorn hens should have a flopped/folded over comb too ... the Dark brown/red (RIR) looks more like a production red, smaller than a Rhode Island Red (RIR) (it could just be the angle of picture, or the breeders stock lines?) A RIR should be nearly twice as big as a Leghorn ...

What color eggs do you get from the white ones? How often do they lay?

The coop looks small to me for eight chickens ...

I agree. I have a similarly sized one (4x6) and I only keep 5 bantams in it.
