So here are a few of the members of my flock. I an wondering what they are.

This is Cupid. Who I thought was a buff Brahma.

Her feet are feathered. I have others that are light like this.

Also has feathers on its feet. I have a few others that are similar.

And lastly Blue in front of my outside babies.

I will try to feet a better picture of Blue on Saturday as well as my other older birds. Also they are just in their day pen.

ETA: Bertha and Blue are 7 weeks old. Cupid is 5 weeks and the babies are 2 weeks old.

Cute chicks! Cupid looks more like a light brahma, her feathers are coming in for the right patterning for a brahma. The buff brahma chicks look almost to yellow (though it might just be the breeder TSC got them from).

I wouldn't mind a light Brahma. She was my free rare from MM. What do you mean to yellow? Even the darker one?
 
I'm not seeing the patterning for the buff in them. Try googleing buff brahma chicks. Buff brahma genes call for eb/eb (recessive colouring in adult colour and chick fluff) maybe a mix? The thing is if you mix eb with W^Wh that would get something more like your yellowish chicks. The darker one might be eb/eb with out other colours coming in as much.

So what are they? TSC said buff Brahma. And they have feathered feet...
 
Cupid could be a light Brahma. Can't tell if it has feathered legs. Next looks like a cuckoo Marans.

As for the buff Brahmas, one looks likely while the other is questionable. Are they bantams or LF? What kind of comb? D 'Uccles and Cochins are just 2 other breeds with feathered legs. There are others.

The blue looks like a blue Andalusian.

Cupid has very feathered feet. They are LF. And I hope that's what Blue is
