Araucana but not really araucana

[Altairsky]

I got some scrap Araucana eggs from a breeder to test an incubator I was trying to fix.
The eggs were all the same size and all the same hue of blue.
However I got these 2 chicks that have a tail. They are 2 and half weeks old. I think the light one is a male and the dark one is a pullet. What do you think? Any idea of their adult colors?
The lighter chick is the splay leg one from this thread https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...od-caused-inflamed-leg.1626891/#post-27798257

Also another question, the araucana chicks are heavier than the cream legbars of the same age. Are legbars such slow growers?

They both look like mixes. The single comb chick is clearly not Aracauna, more likely Legbar mix with something that has feather legs so probably not Aracauna. Does the breeder that you got the eggs from have a feather leg breed?
The darker chick looks like a mix as well, probably Legbar x Aracauna.

The breeder has one "araucana" hen with no tail but feathered feet. So that chick is probably hers.
He doesn't have legbars. He doesn't like that breed, so I got my legbar eggs shipped from a different breeder. The other breeds he currently has are cochin, padovana, cemani. However he tried legbars a few years ago, so maybe he got some genes in somehow.

Feathered feet do often carry over from the parents. My mistake on the Legbars. In the case that the "Aracauna" had feathered legs I guess it's possible that the chick is full "Aracauna".
Legbars are known to be slower growers than some other breeds.
