Another "What are they" thread :-)

Drove really far to get an Americauna rooster, got there and found these guys...who are definately not americaunas. I was already there, so I brought two home lol. I'm pretty dang positive they are not americauna, possibly americauna mixes...? Sorry for the bad pictures, chickens are FAST haha. The darker of the two does have a bearded/ poofy face. Any clues as to heritage on these guys? The big giant orange legs are throwing me off. They are supposedly 5 months old.

Just some further mixed EEs is my guess. The first one looks like it had a barred parent. With the other the feathers look like a EE, but he does have a straight comb any yellow legs. EEs are already mixed, but they look further mixed.

I don't see any ee in either one. They just look like mixed breed roos.

Well, the kittens aren't so cute anymore and the easter egger cockerels are in the freezer. Plus, I think offering them as "prizes" scared folks off! So, I'm still posting quotes, if you know it let me know. I'm very enamored of this new one, it may hang around for a while!
