I am thinking the first is a golden Marans, the feet are white along with the feathering on the legs. My silver cuckoo Marans had an occasional feather on her dark legs, but she sun bleached this summer to the same color as the bird your holding. Texas sun is unrelenting, 2 of the 3 Marans succumbed to the heat this summer, I only have the one left. I hope I can get some good shrubs growing in their yard for additional shade. I believe the barred rooster of many colors is either a Golden Marans cock or a mix. The Silver rooster looks like every other black/white barred rooster but the Golden Cuckoo looks all mixed up, with the barring showing in different colors, it doesn't look like a breed.
