Welcome!
Where did you buy these two chicks?
Can you turn off the red light and get another clear picture?

 

[ChickenCanoe]

Possibly but not likely.
Feathered feet are limited to about 6 breeds.

Can you possibly get better pictures of the chicks away from the red light?

 

[Painted Calls]

They are likely mixed breeds.

Were did you get them? I know splash ameracuanas can be white but I can't tell what the pattern looks like under the red light.​

Sorry bout the light here is another pic. This one clearly shows the feathers on the outside toe. I bought my chicks from a local feed store in Redwood City, ca

I don't think they're supposed to have feathered feet. You may not have gotten the breed you asked for

Very unlikely you’ll find purebred Ameraucana in a feed store. They usually run about $20 a chick.
What most hatcheries sell are Easter Eggers. There is much confusion about these that has been discussed in many threads on BYC.

I'm no expert because I'm raising my first flock and they are only 4 weeks old but those look just like my light brahmas did at 2 weeks old.
