I just got these chickens. The man told me they were domineckers. Well I know they are not because of their combs. They can either be barred plymouth rocks or cuckoo marans? right? Or, maybe some other barred chickens? I don't know. I think the one hen is a plymouth rock because she has more of a yellow leg. Please tell me what you think!

Is the rooster featherleged?Is that yellow tint on his back?They are not Dominique.I live in Georgia and my neighbor calls every barred bird Dominiker and nobody can change it.
 
He's BR mixed with something else. That straw color is brassiness, can be genetic, sun damage or from eating way too much corn. The hens look to be BRs, yes. When they've been laying awhile, their legs fade to almost white, so that would explain the leg color on one of those hens.
 
I'd bet that the roo is a cockoo marans and the hen(s) bottom two pictures is/are barred rocks.
I bet speckledhen would know for sure, she's the BR go-to-gal
