I'm new to backyard chicken raising.

Thank you everyone! I'll get some pics up tomorrow they do have true black legs and did not come from a hatchery. It's the tail feathers that are throwing us for a loop!

Looking forward to seeing the pics.

The red & the while are the two in question. As you can see they both have the dark feet. The red has the fluffy cheeks but the white doesn't. They both started with long big tails but
shed the longer feather at 4 months old. Here they are 7 months. No eggs yet from any of the hens.

You're red and white birds are both Easter Egger hens, instead of true Ameraucanas.
