I would say 1.
3 would only be natural in a situation where a couple has recently gotten married, you know that, and you want to ask if they have a baby. It’d also be a little more natural to add “yet” at the end.
Have you (guys) started a family yet?
But I think in that case, it’s probably even more common to just say “do you have kids”.

@studiousboy No, for some reason it doesn’t sound very natural to me. But some people might disagree.
