The one leg isn't swollen. It is just closer to the camera. They are and have always been thick legs. Here is the bird while we had it inside, showing the legs and full size.
We have an animal rescue. Dogs, cats, chickens and ducks. I've just never seen these two breeds before. Here are some better photos of the small hen. You can see the sheen to her feathers better. Her feet are very plump.
They are dirty. They got pooped on on the roost and I didn't have time to wash them up. They both are completely white. The second smaller hen has a white sheen to the feathers. I've never seen it before. She is like one of those super soft fleece blankets. No feathers on legs. She is just...

Thanks!
