Any ideas what kind we are?

A pullet and cockerel.

the one on the left in the next picture

this boy has black barring on the front of his legs

Thanks in advance for input

Not sure on the first one, but I see a white EE and maybe the black one is an andalusian or minorca.

 

[ChickenCanoe]

I know that's supposed to be an Ameraucana and I was supposed to have white minorcas but no black.

I do not know about your first two, but your black one does not seem to be a Minorca. Minorcas do not have yellow pigment to their beaks.

I Agree with Roddie

Andalusians and Minorcas have White skin, which means no yellow pigment

The first beauty is an Easter Egger with Delaware behind her.

The black one is probably a black Leghorn.

I am pretty much with Illia but also think the cockerel could possibly be a White Faced Black Spanish. It takes up to two years to develop their full white face and their ear is a lot less prominent than a Leghorn. Leghorns also typically have bright yellow legs.

 

[ChickenCanoe]

But do leghorns or spanish have the black barring on the legs?

The "barring" is just the black showing up on each scale.

Yes, they can if from hatchery/poor quality stock. You have to consider - Even Barred Rocks are supposed to have solid yellow legs, yet most hatchery birds have gray legs with little bits of yellow.

The first is a nice mixed breed pullet. That coloration could come from many different breed combinations so it is difficult to say what is in the mix.

I think your black rooster in a Minorca.
