Identify my chicken please 😊

Hello, I'm not new to chicken raising but these girls have me stumped! I got them from the pullet bin at atwoods, they are about 12 weeks old, they have slender bodies, longer tail feathers than I've seen on pullets and skinny blueish legs. Thank y'all so much!

Golden Phoenix?

My guess, and I say this with all humility, is an EE ( Easter Egger)

Golden Phoenix.

A pretty golden phoenix.

Agreed - Golden Phoenix - and you got lucky! Phoenix can be hard to find. They're on The Livestock Conservancy's Conservation Priority List, under "Watch."

Looks like Welsummers to me. I have two that look exactly like this. Here's a photo I found online of them grown up.

Welsummers have a heavy body type, the OP's chicken has a light body type so is most likely a Phoenix.

Thank you, that's interesting!! I had no idea they were rare.
